Nuclear waste storage isn't a technology issue: we know how to store it safely. It's an issue of political obstructionism.

If that’s true why would be this obstructionism be there? It does not make any rational sense if we can use nuclear to win us time until we have working fusion and/or wind/sun/etc energy implemented.

A combination of NIMBY, genuine concerns, poor education and political point scoring.

It does not make any rational sense.
