1. Use Nuclear waste to irradiate the air in order to destroy greenhouse gas? What could go wrong?

Apparently the poster advocates using Nuclear waste to irradiate the air in order to destroy some types of greenhouse gas (not CO2).

"Right now, most of the used nuclear fuel in the United States is sitting in casks on the sites where it was generated. If one looks around the internet, one can find pictures of nuclear advocates hugging these casks to show that they are not particularly dangerous.

I find this containment in casks to be unfortunate; I would rather that the materials within them should be utilized including use to irradiate the air, since radiation has the effect of destroying certain classes of greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide..."
