Given you're a fan of nuclear power which creates waste that's dangerously radioactive for 10,000 years, it's interesting you see discarded Li-ion batteries & solar panels as the real boogeymen.

I think LP makes a fair point.

Your response is as emotive as the article you quoted.

Lets put this in terms that are simpler to understand.

Which technology gives the most bang for buck, in terms of energy produced vs waste and toxicity in the atmosphere?

Nuclear energy waste is evolving too.  They are finding ways to reuse spent fuel, rather than simply store it.

Green waste has a simple issue and it isnt necessarily to do with the production of it.  Mining the materials is the same as it is for nuclear/coal etc.  Thing is, the volumes required to pump out the same amount of energy are way different, and the environmental impact similarly different and much smaller in nuclears favour.
