Politics are the same everywhere 😂 maybe except in El Salvador.
I encourage you and your boyfriend to read or research a book by Alex Epstein it’s called Fossil Future, and he gives a different view on fossil fuels just for you guys question or have a different perspective of the global narrative around this topic. As for nuclear waste there are already nuclear reactors that can reuse the waste of almost depleted uranium wich by the it doesn’t take that long to decay to very normal values.
