Surely you must be joking.

The difference is that nuclear waste can be contained. Fossil fuel waste cannot, it's simply dumped everywhere. Some of that fossil fuel waste is radioactive, carcinogenic, etc., etc.. Natural gas accidents can destroy entire neighborhoods, flames spewing toxins everywhere. Worst of all, fossil fuel waste causes global warming.

Nuclear waste won't destroy the world as we know it. Fossil fuel waste will, and is doing so as I write this.

We've been very well trained to ignore the dangers of fossil fuels, most of all the very real threat of global warming.

Wind and solar promotion is climate change denial "light" (as in light beer) and will only prolong our dependency on fossil fuels, doing nothing in the long run to reduce the total amount of greenhouse gasses humans dump into earth's atmosphere.
