The bad thing with all these ideas of shooting the spent fuel (aaah...) into the sun or in a subduction zone or whatever is that it lacks retrieveability.

Sooner or later we'll need the waste to feed our breeder reactors. When you have pushed the uranium through a reactor and spent it, it still contains 59/60 of its original energy. Breeder retrieve the remaining 59 parts.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
