Nuclear waste is not nearly the problem it's made out to be. The volume/tonnage is not that great, so there is ample room. The biggest problem is that people are assuming that civilization will fall and people 10k years from now will be too dumb to realize that this stuff they're digging up is poison. IMNSHO people will be mining our nuclear waste dumps as power sources.
The problem isn't energy. The problem is usable energy when and where you want it. What we really need is Heinlein's shipstones.
