For a country that people shat on a lot for closing their nuclear plants Germany is on the right track reducing their C02.

    They have been searching for more than 30 years to hide the last nuclear waste somewhere and still haven’t found a suitable place. That’s why they don’t want nuclear power.

      Here is were we in scandinavia can step up, we have a stable bedrock and modern technology to drill into the ground.

      Let us build a few permanent storage sites with secure handling facilities and sell space to other countries needing it.

        Ontario, Canada this year is supposed to be choosing which of 2 proposed storage sites will be chosen for development. Nuclear power is a major part of the grid there, representing something like 35% of capacity and 55% of output. The generation facilities are geographically well situated, with one station being <100km away from a proposed storage site and two others within 250km.

        I wonder what kind of risks there are with accidents during long distance transportation. Ships sink, trains derail, and trucks have accidents.
