Already, fossil fuel waste kills about nine million people a year. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/c-change/news/fossil-fuel-air-pollution-responsible-for-1-in-5-deaths-worldwide/
And it is on track to kill a million species and render a large chunk of our biosphere unlivable.
We have very good technological solutions to nuclear waste - glass it and put it back in the original mines. The issue is only political.
