Yeah, and like most of Europe, that German population lives in cities, not random forests and mountains in the middle of nowhere where you could also do underground storage like Finland has done.
Don’t you think it sounds crazy to build a underground storage just to have it closed for a million years. I just can’t understand why anybody would want that.
Well you see we kinda are failing at the whole mitigating climate change issue and we and we only have so many rare earth minerals to exploit for large scale battery storage banks. And every year we are burning more Fossil Fuels and shutting down more reactors and building no new modern designs and giving nuclear none of the funding the fossil fuel industry receives or the renewables industry receives.
Could be that Finland is a big country with only 5,5 million people living there compared to 83million in germany. Easier to find a place.

Not to mention Germany has more land.

FFS do some research, you dig a big hold drill sideways for a bit and back fill it.

But why would you do that if you can just without.

Because funding nuclear is just a hole with no bottom and it takes too much time. Money should be spent on other things.
