It's all a matter of probabilities. Even if there is only a 0.0001% chance for any nuclear waste facility to fail in a given month, ... we are talking about thousands of months of waste storage. There simply is no comparison between the threat of nuclear waste versus the environmental threat from a wind turbine or solar panel. This debate is done and dusted. Find a county where people vote in their majority for having a nuclear power plant built vs combined wind and solar. Good luck with that.
There is a reason nuclear energy fails in public polling time and again. It is not because people are uninformed. It is because people are not stupid enough to fall for this BS again.

No joke: When ancient Olympians entered the competition (of the Olympic games in, yes, Olympia, Greece) they had to swear they would not cheat, and to prove they mean it tradition had they would step onto a stone plate and crush with their feet the cut-off testicles of a bull while saying "May Zeus do this to me if I cheat." And -- no joke -- that is where the word test comes from. Testicles. True story.
