That's a huge waste of energy.

If the "waste" is "highly radioactive" that means that is has A LOT of energy left in it. It should be reprocessed, recycled, and should provide power for another 20years. The whole idea of nuclear waste needing billions of years of storage is just propaganda to ensure nuclear reactors are never a threat to the existing fossil fuel markets.

By the way despite a huge increase in the amount of "green energy" produced by germany last year, they have also burned more fossil fuels then they ever have in history, same story in China, the US and other European countries.
