The problem is that the military ignored environmental impact and laws claiming that national security trumped these concerns.
Poisoning your own people is not national security, it's doing the enemy's job for them. Aside from the human cost there is also the financial cost which we can ill afford. And don't forget the political cost, which is the distrust that the government engenders when it mistreats it own citizens.
"In fact, IF, in the past 60 years we'd pursued clean and renewable energy resources..."
We did. In fact we've been at it with wind power and solar thermal for a hundred years. They're mature technologies; whatever they're going to do, they're doing it now and it's no bloody good at anything but capturing subsidies and providing unusuable intermittent power.
lol, this has almost nothing to do with modern nuclear energy production. This is the waste left behind from the Manhattan Project an later nuclear research, no modern reactors use methods like this to store nuclear waste. Get educated.
WORKERS are not being helped who are now sick with cancer!
Our government pretends -
NUCLEAR = GREEN.
GUESS WHAT:
NUCLEAR DOES NOT EQUAL GREEN!
GUESS WHAT ELSE:
IT NEVER DID!
In fact, IF, in the past 60 years we'd pursued clean and renewable energy resources - wow - we would be soooo ahead of where we are today having taken only steps BACK in time, like a mass of deaf, dumb and blind sheep we keep following greedy, visionless demented leaders right into the toxic sludge holes (they've created).

"In fact, IF, in the past 60 years we'd pursued clean and renewable energy resources."
They're no bloody good and will only lead to more coal power; see Germany for an illustrative example(26 new coal plants planned).
"I can't believe there was a day we used Nuclear Power to create electricity..."
What do you mean was? It provides more energy now than it ever did in the past.
