Was curious about that as well, but I only keep finding "solutions" that are in the make or disputed.

I'm also trying to find the final costs of any disposal.

Renewables aren't without problems of course. We still need a solution where the blades of the wind turbines don't end up in landfills. That's effectively not renewable.

> And PV panels don't? You need many less trucks of uranium than of coal

I don't understand. Coal isn't required to build PV? We once had PV industry here but everything moved to $China :(

> I know. But this doesn't sound too healthy neither https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11900206/

Not sure why everyone assumes I'm pro coal when I explicitly stated that I'm trying to push renewables.
