Why create exceptional amounts of trash when you don't need to? It's not a binary choice but it should be. It makes absolutely zero sense to waste so many resources when it can be focused into a solution that doesn't do that.
Yeah we can keep burning gas in cars or we could transition to EVs. Transitioning to solar and wind respectively is creating more electronic waste. That's the reason not to use it in the meantime. It's a different kind of pollutant but still a potent one. We're literally shipping garbage to third world countries.
Focus on the best solution, now, not a better solution and then figure it out later. Nuclear. Now.
