I hate humans, hybris, stupid, selfish… the waste will blow up like popcorn one day…
The stupidity is grotesque and reminds me on the dontlookup movie…

I choose none of it because diasters will happen with nuclear energy or not, what you change is once the next tsunami hit the next nuclear power plant that you deliberately risk peoples live on a gamble so that you can continue to do whatever you do best, exploiting the earth and their resources and think you can win a prize with this strategy. You can and will always lose with this kind of thinking.
History showed that Nuclear Power plants do not reduce or keep the climate how it is, we got overall +2C since we use nuclear, within 60-100 years climate changed that much, with and without nuclear. Nuclear power plants will not stop the growth and the demand and you numbers are in general too high. 6C in net 100 years is unrealistic.
You can use the nuclear material from atomic bombs, use this as a middle ground to get rid of it, of course the waste issue will continue to exist when the music stops playing but it would be more efficient than using it as threat.
Once green systems are in place, it is overall cheaper for the consumer. I could post what I would pay for nuclear … numbers are rising each year not sinking btw … and then what I pay for green energy … numbers are falling each year.
I am trying to draw out a bit of honesty from the pro-fission crowd: yes, fission reactors could supply all our energy needs for hundreds of years (if thorium is included), and if the standards are relaxed a bit it could even happen quickly enough. But at the cost of dealing with waste, accidents, nuclear weapons proliferation. (Thorium breeds U233).
If the nuclear weapons proliferation can be held back from initiating nuclear winter (big iff…), we still get a bit of cancer and sickness and war, but maybe that’s better than +3…6°C.
Nuclear is mass suicide supported by Trump voter, same misguided people.
