Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

I have never seen any analysis of the costs of nuclear energy that accounted for the many long term externalities of that technology. It's like they think once it isn't specifically their problem, it's not a problem. Or they realize that storing and securing dangerous waste until the end of time is hard to price, so they don't.
Try checking the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (1982) which established the Nuclear Waste Fund, built up by a tax on electricity generated by Nuclear power plants and controlled by Congress.
