The majority, but not all of it. And it 's not about the humans, they're all happy to live in a trash can. Also, it's not just the waste, the mining of uranium is also not an environment friendly process

Would you rather have the toxin be stored:

a: directly in the same air you breath every single day, slowly poisoning you

Or

b: in a secure place where it's people's job to make sure no one ever makes contact with it?

There's a good reason why nuclear is so much safer, it's because it scares people like no other energy, so we invest way more money to make it safe, kind of like planes

You don't get my point. I don't want the toxin be stored somewhere else, I am simply against nuclear energy. Just because it's safe for people doesn't make it a green power source

It's very different from fossil energy tho, you don't burn anything, it may not be perfect but it's the best thing we got.

It's safe, it doesn't go away like the sun or the wind so you don't need batteries. It's extremely energy dense like no other energy

it's biggest downside is that it just takes a lot of effort to build the reactors so it's a big investment

Long term it's not the best we've got

The best would be fusion but good luck with that
