False. Solar PV, hydro and wind are superior without the nuclear waste problem.

Nuclear has a purpose in the mix, but more in a supporting role.

The nuclear waste problem's solution is stick it in the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere.

What do you think hydroelectric dams get built with?

Once with concrete which lasts decades. But nuclear plants produce waste every day that needs concrete for decades. And they are built with concrete.

Nice try.
