is very small for the amount of energy that comes out.

I think in the film we show one human's use of nuclear power is like the size of a coin.

That's the waste that comes out of a human's lifetime use, the size of a coin.

There are a lot of humans, but compared to coal ash and particulates or CO2 from burning gasoline and other products and methane or the amount of batteries we're going to be dumping into the earth, which are toxic from our cars and are backing up our solar and wind.

Solar panels that are getting dumped in the earth and they have toxic components in them.

We don't recycle them.

We dump them in the earth.

Wind turbine blades, gigantic.

We bury them.

We don't recycle them.

really why not they're not made of recyclable material one they're starting to be but it's the economics again constant in it it costs more money to grab the key things out of a battery and dump the rest the key things out of a solar panel and dump the rest there's there's an energy and cost to all that process it's just cheaper to make them new that's it's just cheaper

I mean, big box stores, they're dumping new TVs from last year's model because it's cheaper to dump them and they're not going to sell them than to make them new.

It's nuts.

This is a human waste thing that we should get our heads around.

I'm all for recycling, reuse, and reprocessing, but we got to get it affordable.

That's why we don't do it for the most part.

So you're sitting here, you know, the nuclear has those fission products, fusions.

It just sounds too good to be true almost.

You got to contain the heat of that reaction.

It is a little teeny sun, you know, and you got to contain that heat.
