Because constructing nuclear power plants and mining uranium don't have toxic carbon byproducts?

What are the toxic byproducts you are talking about specifically?

> The toxic fission byproduct is tiny and goes underground in the middle of the desert and disrupts zero people's lives.

Haha, if it were that easy. Nuclear waste can be radioactive up to 1 million years. Can you give me an example of a successful long-term nuclear storage facility that exists today? All we're doing currently is storing nuclear waste in temporary storage and rolling over the need to deal with this problem to future generations.
