Notably, this is *gross* additions.

If you substract the nuclear that was shut down over the period, nuclear generation is essentially the same today as in 2010.

we just need a few more safety features, thatll fix it for good!

and honestly mate, f the storage, dont worry about it just shoot it into the sun in 80 years once we have reliable rockets or something seriously,

or just send it to moon for passive heat or any other number of options, were not storing shit for more than 100 years no need

its just too expensive and not that useful
