Solar and wind requires battery storage. Only less than 5% of lithium batteries are recycled right now. Same with wind and solar panels materials. They generate waste as well

@aaroncosier735 ya I know they can be recycled. Everything CAN be recycled but there is a difference between CAN and ARE. how much of them ARE actually recycled today economically?

@aaroncosier735 in defense of nuclear waste, they are tiny in volume and can be safely buried deep underground, whereas wind and solar material volume will accumulate into gigantic after a long time

@aaroncosier735 but the nuclear waste is not emitted like fossil fuel emissions. They are solid and well contained safely and buried under ground where it's almost impossible to leak into atmosphere.

@aaroncosier735 True. But there is a way to use the nuclear waste to generate more energy and then the results waste of that will have very little radiation left at all. The hope is that these highly radiactive waste will not have to sit in storage for that long before they could be used up.

@aaroncosier735 I'm no expert but have you watched "the big lie about nuclear waste" by Cleo? Basically there is a political forces holding it back otherwise we would have been using nuclear waste to generate energy for decades, that technology already exists and well studied to be safe. It's just no political will to get it done.
