nuclear power is "the ultimate stealth tax"

“Every UK citizen is already paying over £1,500 to clean up the nuclear waste of the last 50 years – and that bill regularly gets revised upwards.

And in an email from the Lib Dems there was this interesting thought experiment:

Predicting the next 100,000 years isn't easy. Even the best efforts of scientists and Sci-Fi writers from just thirty years ago to predict the twenty-first century often look embarrassing wrong.
Yet that's how long waste from nuclear power stations has to be kept safe.
Just think how long 100,000 years really is. If the Victorians, or the Tudors, or Norman the Conqueror, or the Vikings, or cavemen had had nuclear power ... we would still be looking after their waste. Do you really think it would have been kept safe during all that time?
