Why would anyone want toxic waste in their backyard?

It's not toxic, nor is it in their backyard.

Not to mention that the search is mainly conducted by companies, which have a vested interest in not making all the issues transparent.

What issues?

It’s genuinely not easy to find a location where anyone would be willing to claim that it will remain unaffected by geodynamic processes for millions of years.

Good thing we don't need to.

Good thing we don't need to.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

It's not toxic, nor is it in their backyard.

It is toxic and they wrote "NIMBY", which means "not in my backyard", which is what I used figuratively here.

What issues?

Depends on the location. In Asse, there is water entering into the caverns, for example.

Good thing we don't need to.

You should inform the BGE about it. They'll be glad to hear all their challenges are solved.
