So there’s enough cheap enough utanium to go around and no need for the industry to recycle spent fuel.
That is where the supply and demand equation is right now. When the supply was lower before the 90s, the equation favored recycling, and if we build more plants to drive up price, it will favor it again.
Sure, if it was free to build, it would be better than not having them (though worse than more efficient types of storage), assuming the cost of refining the steel breaks even.
There’s a reason fossil fuel companies fund hydrogen.
As for reprocessing, storage is in competition with newly mined fuel. As mining becomes more expensive or nuclear demand increases, there’s greater impetus to recycle more fuel. Conversely, if there’s fewer plants consuming the fuel or more mines opening, recycling projects die.
The more plants close, the less waste you’re gonna get reprocessed.
Russia already has 40,000 nukes, they’re not a proliferation risk.
There’s both, there was a plant in Savanah Ga that was supposed to process nuclear weapons into fuel, but after they got the weapons, they stalled on building the plant.
There were other plans to build reprocessing facilities for old fuel in the US (or breeder reactors that can use them as is) that all died off after the fall of the USSR opened up kazakstan, tanking the price of Uranium.
Why would you bury fuel that you’ve only harvested 1% of the energy from? If you’re not gonna build reprocessing facilities, sell it to France or Russia.
Well they own and are currently profiting from coal mines, they don’t own solar farm construction companies.
Would you evaluate the contents of the wikileaks leaks if they had released an equal amount of dirt on Trump?
We tried no zoning except parking minimums. The result was Houston.
The manager is an agent of the company, the default assumption is that they have the company’s interests ahead of the workers.
Individually, your experience may vary.

Which is a shame, because if I could create tangible loss for Ubisoft by downloading their games, I would do nothing else until they went under.
Do you know how many carts Dukat spared from getting pushed into traffic?

IDK what Demetrious means, but polychronic means multiple fatal diagnoses, like when you have multiple stage 4 cancers.

Don’t they have tools to do 100 at once, and machines to do 10,000 at once?

Janeway: What are you… Is he?
Jeffry, you’re still on the viewscreen, we can see you.
JEFFRY YOU HAVE TO END THE TRANSMISSION!
God dammit he turned off his own screen…

Fewer people would be able to afford rent. Either the landlords would have to eat the cost, or sell.
