Your opinion has been formed by watching TV news and adverts and you don't see why maybe that could give you a flawed understanding of the subject? That "some YouTube guy" is a documentarian who goes to an actual nuclear plant, talks directly to nuclear engineers, describes safety procedures, and explains the science of how nuclear waste is disposed of.
So, by your own admission, you have no understanding of the subject being discussed here. Why do you assume that TV news and adverts are going to give you all the facts about the subject rather than just try to hold your attention on the TV screen?
You keep talking about "bunny rabbits" like that makes you sound smart, but all it tells me is that you know literally nothing about nuclear power generation. You just saw a commercial and a news report and got confused why they said different things. Well I've got a newsflash for you: advertisements and news are terrible mediums to deliver nuanced information.
It's perfectly okay for you not to have an opinion on the subject. There are many political issues where I can't be arsed to learn all the facts of the matter, so I don't have an opinion one way or the other. Just let the smart people whose education and career was all about nuclear safety deal with it.
You've built me into quite the straw man. I've read every bit of information provided to my community by the NWMO. I'm judging this article against that information.
I have plenty of experience with the employees of the nuclear power generation industry. The phrase they've coined for working there is playing "Hide and seek for a grand a week, or stand in plain view for 2" Watching the money get thrown around to buy votes is gross. I'm not against nuclear energy at all, but if we were serious about generating energy from nuclear power we wouldn't be endlessly rebuilding our grandparents reactors.
The bunny thing is a targeted ad I've been seeing online for years. They have treated us like children and try to polish the turd buy underplaying what they actually want to do. Now as the vote draws nearer they're pulling back the curtain more. They learned their lesson when Godrich said no to putting in the salt mine after they spoke plainly.
My opinion is there's huge money behind this decision and it doesn't really matter what I think.
