>> meanwhile, solar is safe to set up, safe to operate, and there is no radioactive waste to manage

Only some giant amount (only 300x compare to nuclear) of non-radioactive waste that ends up in poor countries. Do you care about that?

That last link is hilarious. It cited a study that found that the mass of solar panels is 300x the mass of SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL. Because, of course, pound-for-pound a solar panel and spent nuclear fuel have the same toxicity?

You can build recycling plant and force PV vendor to sent their panels to said plant once the panel hit the end of its life.

Then do that and see how costs increase, and do the comparison again.
