I'm all for alternative sources of energy (including nuclear) but I feel like generating and storing nuclear waste for future generations parallels how coal/oil/gas/etc. ruined the environment that our current generation has.

What are some points that I could use to differentiate the two ideas? e.g.

- not enough waste to be an issue

- waste is properly secured so won't be an issue

- less impact than coal/oil/gas
