Unfortunately for all of us, there is no "good" way of disposing of nuclear waste, even under socialism or pure communism. It is fundamentally an unsustainable project because the waste is impossible to safely dispose of forever, from what I gather. Renewables are likewise not truly sustainable. The unfortunate reality is that we have built a worldwide social system whose living standards are probably not sustainable, even with a decentralized renewable power grid that utilizes things like hydro-electric generated by internal plumbing, something like a million little turbines lining all the sewage disposal pipes of a major metropolitan city. It may be that we would need to do a substantial roll-back on non-essential services, with electricity reserved for things like medical care and those who engage in things like pleasure reading using candles again. Though it is much to my chagrin to share their stuff, Max Blumenthal had a very interesting column on this recently:
