For a country that people shat on a lot for closing their nuclear plants Germany is on the right track reducing their C02.

    Here is were we in scandinavia can step up, we have a stable bedrock and modern technology to drill into the ground.

    Let us build a few permanent storage sites with secure handling facilities and sell space to other countries needing it.

      Ontario, Canada this year is supposed to be choosing which of 2 proposed storage sites will be chosen for development. Nuclear power is a major part of the grid there, representing something like 35% of capacity and 55% of output. The generation facilities are geographically well situated, with one station being <100km away from a proposed storage site and two others within 250km.

      I wonder what kind of risks there are with accidents during long distance transportation. Ships sink, trains derail, and trucks have accidents.
