My problem is that waste being unborn next generation's problem. Who are we to demand them to keep guarding our shit? With fusion, the waste is the alive-generation's problem.
You could say that of any infrastructure. Bridges are expenses, ongoing maintenance for them is a burden our children will have to bear. But I expect they'll be willing to do it.
The fact is, most of what we do affects the next generation, we just don't think about it, or can't quantify it. The only difference with nuclear is that we can quantify it.
