2. My reaction: Lots of targets for those who shoot at electric grid stations

[Think. Again.]

3. Still leaves the question of what to do with the waste...

...but that waste is still less of an immediate danger than the CO2 we're emitting.

4. All the years we have tried, we still store nuclear waste at the plants..

[Think. Again.]

5. Yeah, no matter where we put it, it's dangerous...

...I've read a little bit about re-using it to squeeze out more of the radioactivity or something but there just doesn't seem to be enough interest in figuring all that out.

6. We have lots of nuclear powered subs and ships, so small is already here. As to the waste material,

that's always been an issue in storage/dispersal of waste products.
