These same people worry about the long term consequences of nuclear waste production, so nuclear sabotages itself on this front.

You noticed how we’re all fine breathing in poison and carcinogens? Still haven’t banned burning fossil fuels.
It’s a money problem and a PR problem

Exactly, bad PR.
Waste isn’t actually much of a problem - it’s just been portrayed as one.
