The search for a final repository for highly radioactive nuclear waste may be delayed by decades, according to a report by Germany's Deutschlandfunk. The station cited a study by the Freiburg-based Oeko-Institut, which was commissioned by the Federal Office for Nuclear Waste Disposal.
If the “waste” is “highly radioactive” that means that is has A LOT of energy left in it. It should be reprocessed, recycled, and should provide power for another 20years. The whole idea of nuclear waste needing billions of years of storage is just propaganda to ensure nuclear reactors are never a threat to the existing fossil fuel markets.
By the way despite a huge increase in the amount of “green energy” produced by germany last year, they have also burned more fossil fuels then they ever have in history, same story in China, the US and other European countries.
That’s a huge waste of energy.
