Which is better? Nuclear waste which can remain toxic to almost all life for up to 250,000 years, or greenhouse gases which are relatively harmless to life, but harmful to global climate stability.
I would have to argue neither on the basis that the only reason we produce so much greenhouse gas is because our economic system makes it difficult for existing alternative technologies such as solar, wind, tidal, and geothermic energy solutions to gain much traction.
