It's stupid because here in Australia we have the size of Western Europe as desert that won't ever be used for anything. We already have ports and roads in and nuclear testing has already taken place in the desert.

Yet, somehow that area isn't used as global mass storage for everyone's nuclear waste despite decades of every nation with nuclear plants looking for one. I guess complex problems don't always have simple solutions.
