If a truck full of solar panels crashes on the highway, that highway doesn’t become a superfund site. It doesn’t cost hundreds of millions to clean up, the local community doesn’t see a massive spike in cancer.

TLDR: That test showed no leaks after hitting the flask with a train at 100mph.
When has that happened with nuclear waste again?
