This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As far as the waste goes, China is building molten salt reactors that can use the waste to run. The waste that those reactors produce has much shorter half lives, like days, and can be stored almost anywhere.
That being said, agreed that we would be better off investing in renewables, and getting the planet down to two or three reactors total. We can't go completely renewable, as we need the isotopes we create in nuclear reactors for medical reasons.
And I'm building a perpetual motion machine that can run forever on a single scoop of dirty cat litter ๐
I agree that China says they're doing things that they have no ability to do, but in this case I'm pretty sure they're telling the truth. They're using the designs that the US created 40 years ago. Only reason they were never tested here is the cost and regulations. China can bypass both of those issues.
