Re: Waste

The thing is, all industry produces chemical waste of one kind or another. Heavy metals, organophosphates and various other classes of toxin persist in the environment. In a thousand years, your slag heaps and the like will still be as toxic as they day they were created. But the nuclear waste, be it high- or low-level, will be far less hazardous than it once was. Now tell me which is the more environmental option.
