    Burying the small amount of waste in a stable non-actively forming mountain for a few thousand years is 1000x better than burning things and putting them into the air.

      I’m not so sure about that. We already had to pay a lot of taxpayers’ money to fix bad issues with those storage facilities. And it’s tens of thousands of years to go. That could become very, very expensive. And nasty to deal with for future generations.

      And I’d say just burying your waste where no one can see it isn’t a good solution. Neither is just dumping it into the ocean. And knowing a worse alternative doesn’t make it right.

      You’re correct, burning yet more oil an coal and putting that CO2 into the air won’t be healty for the planet an us, either.
