I’m struggling with there not being such a facility in Germany. If we as a society can not agree on such a site, which is the current situation in Germany, we should not produce more radioactive waste.
This has been a process full of setbacks in Germany. There is an article on the German Wikipedia about it.
No, you’re struggling with the concept of how things come into existence. When a facility doesn’t exist, the way to make it exist is by building this. Incredible that you’re still unable to wrap your head around this concept.
There was a democratic and scientific process to find such a site for over twenty years. We as a people could not agree on a place and you can not build such a facility against the will of the people. They have to be convinced that’s it’s safe and this failed miserably.
So there is no such long term storage facility and my argument which I have repeated multiple times, that you fail to respond to is that:
As long as there is no such site we should not produce more nuclear waste.
What is your proposition how to handle the waste as long as we don’t have a place to store it in the long term?
It’s absolutely adorable that you think your government is implementing the will of the people given what your government has been doing for the past two years. Baerbock literally let the cat out of the bag when she said that she doesn’t give a shit what the voters think.
The point you missed is that what majority of Germans want is entirely incidental to what the government does in Germany. Current government satisfaction is less than 30% last I looked, and your government seems to be proud of that. If the government pursued nuclear energy with the same zeal it’s pursuing destruction of German economy then the problem could’ve been solved long ago.
This is true for a myriad of topics. But not regarding the energy transition away from nuclear and fossil fuels. The people of Germany are very much in support of this idea. 78% of Germans want this process to be finished even earlier and criticise our government for not moving fast enough on this topic.
Again, the point here is that the government doesn’t appear to care one way or another. Public support or lack of thereof for any particular policy appears to play little role.
What part of such a facility could be built are you still struggling with?

This is exactly what a majority of Germans want, we want it even faster and it’s what we want our government to do:
