That didn't work out for me?
You don't need to get personal and I'm not even from Germany

And so you see where I'm coming from:
I'm for a clean energy mix and do hope, that we can produce some good storage options in the near future - molten salt sounds promising for example

But yeah, we can't solve all our energy issues with solar and wind, probably

I've just heard too many promises from the nuclear industry and stuff like, we only need to store it a few thousand (or even just a few hundred) years
I'm not trusting humanity enough, that we can do this in a safe manner
We fuck too much up in just a few years, to give me trust to plan for something for not even 100 years

Yeah, coal, gas etc are shit, I'm with you

But looking at building a nuclear reactor it's always like 2 billion and just 3 years of time - and then it's 15 billion and nearly 10 years
(Maybe I'm exaggerating here, but that's not too far off)

I don't see this to be a solution in the short term and I still think that we can't handle the danger good enough.

Also, I'm pretty sure, that we're heading for a world war with climate change.
Centralised power generation is an easy target as well

I'd really love to have a good solution here and I'm open for nuclear energy, but every few years I look into it and there is either much bullshit like Thorium reactors, that promise everything, but seem to...let's say only theoretical, or we face problems, I don't trust humanity in its current state with it

Edit: you even said yourself, that they didn't store the old waste according to regulations
Why should I trust authorities to do it now suddenly?
We don't really seem much wiser...
