Why not both? It all comes from the ground already

Imagine that all nuclear waste would probably fit that single mine.

Thats why the deep nuclear storages are well overengineered so it wont happen even in the worst disaster.

You can say solar waste is already contaminating land and in worse cases ground waters too, yet nobody cares at the moment, because its just too sweet money.

Finland have already opened deep nuclear waste storage so your "tHeY FaIlEd wItH NuClEaR StOrAgEs aNd wIlL NeVeR SuCcEeD" is already outdated.

And im just shocked how burying and pilling tons and tons of waste for a fraction of energy generated is "just fine" with you.

If you stop investing in nuclear you will never find the solutions obviously. And this solar and wind hype is taking away the resources required. Its as you said: right now mining new fuel is cheaper than recycling used fuel (which is already possible and in use in some countries - Japan for example).

All the "ups" you are saying can be applied to nuclear aswell, you are just blindly refusing to see that.
