@Atom Nuclear is green energy. The problem green activists have is the massive cost of nuclear plants, the timescale of getting them active, and the security concerns of them merely existing.
Your post is not only deeply & deliberately misleading (that’s not what the comic says, even remotely), it’s also wrong and stupid. Well done.
I thought vitrifying and subsequent underground storage is a pretty effective method of storage for many isotopes? Obviously it isn’t perfect, but it means no liquids to leak atleast.
Also recent advances in fusion are exciting, though obviously only time will tell if they’ll get anywhere or just fizzle out…
There are already prospects for long time storage, and some of these are in various stages of development. Finland may be furthest ahead. Even Norway (who’s not even considering nuclear power at the moment) is looking into converting their temporary storage of research waste to a permanent solution. Stable geological conditions are critical, but it’s technically very doable.

Plus the still unsolved waste problem.
