I still cannot imagine how can anyone happily burden is own children (and it's children, and it's children, and it's children, and all of our children too, up to many many generations) with is own harmful waste.

Also, there is the simple fact of neglecting the opportunity cost: given the amount of labor and money that any of those plants imply, would you invest it into more non renewable, fossil based, highly concentrated sources of energies, or cleaner, diversified, decentralized and renewable ones? In other words, we can ask ourselves this simple question: which of these options will make the world better for our children?

In an ideal situation, we wouldn't even be talking about this. This is not an ideal situation. We are in a climate crises and things like solar aren't good enough.
