When you hear people hating on bureocracy is mostly rich people hating on rules which stop them from fucking the public over for profit.

The truth is: we can't possibly plan a safe storage for that kind of timespan, there are way better alternatives like renewables, everyone arguing for nuclear is replacing the propaganda from the fossil lobby with propaganda from the nuclear lobby.

My theory on why Americans recently started to believe in a miricale storage which in the future sure will be found? Because if they wouldn't they would need to realise that they need to change their economy and their way of living

I'm not rich or have money invested.

Sorry to disappoint.

Bureaucracy does have a purpose but it can also become a problem. Sometimes technology can advance much quicker than the paperwork can process. It's not a miracle or propaganda.

But spouting the same anti- nuclear shit that has been spouted for the last 50 years IS propaganda.
