Solar panel production generates poisonous and caustic chemical waste that must be kept from release into the environment.
Nuclear power generates radioactive waste that must be kept from release into the environment.
It's not rocket science in either case.
I wonder if anybody has done a study or written a paper about the possibility of placing our nuclear waste at a tectonic subduction zone.
Subduction zones are places where the earth's crust is forced back into the mantle of the planet (where it becomes liquid).
Being that the mantle is roughly 25 miles under the surface of the planet, I would think that the distance and blocking materials would shield us from the radiation. Also, it would dang *HARD* to try and steal it.
(being that the radioactive materials would be 25 miles underground in molten lava)
Any ideas on this?
