Nothing wrong with the prius. I can say for sure more straight white guys and soccer mom's drive them than anything.
Who cares where electricity comes from its way cheaper to power an EV than fuel an SUV. Plus everywhere in the country coals market share is being eaten away and replaced by wind and natural gas.
When spent nuclear fuel is recycled it doesn't last tens of thousands of years. The unwanted waste isotopes loose approximately 99.99% of their radioactivity after 40 years when the waste and fuel are seperated.
Then the recycled mixed oxide fuel is stable and ready to use for tens of thousands of years.
Our current plan is to use nuclear fuel once, which consumes up to 5% of the fissile elements, then put it all in "temporary storage" permanently. Which is the stupidest plan anyone would possibly come up with. Thank politicians and nimbly useful idiots.
The reason the spent fuel stays highly radioactive for so long is because the vast majority of the "spent fuel" is still fissile material.
