If you're worried about nuclear waste, why not build small nuclear reactors way out in the desert and encase them in concrete for a couple hundred years once you're done with them?

Germany is notably lacking in both deserts and anything reasonably considered "way out".

We could drill way down. But then geothermal seems like the more sensible option. ;)

We could also go way up. But there is the sun already, why build another?
