I mean just blaming it on something that Carter did a few decades ago seems somehow too simple to me.
No, I'm blaming Carter for stopping reprocessing in the name of non-proliferation. 98% of what comes out of a reactor is still usable fuel. Right now, every nuclear power plant in the world will pull about 15 to 20 tons of fuel out every year and literally throw it away where as only about 100lb to 200lb of that is true waste.
As to the power itself, I blame the Nuclear Power Industry in the US for not fighting the misinformation and lies that were spewed that the general public gobbled up and went anti-nuclear in this country. I cannot tell you the sheer amount of misinformation that was allowed. Suffice it to say, the Nuclear Power Industry was it's own worst enemy here in the US until the last decade or so when it actually started to fight the misinformation.
