This reminds me of a talk I watched from the FODI one year. The guy went into a lot of detail about how many thousands of years Australia would be stuck with this problem, completely oblivious to the fact that within a hundred years we should be able to quite comfortably send expensive trash straight to the sun.
It's possible we've missed the boat on nuclear waste as an industry, much the same way as we've probably missed the boat on nuclear power, but we are a very good candidate for the job. Massive country, lots of unusable land, minimal population density, vast distances between ideal locales and population centres, secure jurisdiction, etc. I can't really think of a better place to deal with it. And somebody has to.
Anyone concerned about the planet might consider Australia's usefulness to the rest of the world in this regard, unless underneath all the apparent caring they're actually just looking for the cushiest ride for us as possible while everyone else does the heavy lifting.
