If we could deal with the waste that we've already got, that would instill some confidence, but the govt has basically shrugged. https://youtube.com/watch?v=nLUAN2Rev1E

    Nuclear waste is an already solved problem, we just have to use the solutions. The vast majority (>99%) can be recycled.

    Idk where you live but the problem is likely one (or both) of lobbied politicians kicking the can down the road (cheaper in the short term) and ignorant nimby-ists who've bought the "nuclear energy is evil" narrative pushed by the fossil fuel industry and useful idiots in green movements hook line and sinker.
