Coal have been burned cleaner than NG for two decades and cheaper too.
Nuclear 'waste" is a broad term. There is Thorium which is left over from raw uranium extraction which is too light to fission by it's self but absorbs a neutron and become U233 which is a excellent fuel.
Used fuel form a PWR can be used in a PHWR without re-enrichment.
Used fuel from a PWHR contains approx 1% plutonium which can be extracted and burned as fuel.
A PHWR isn't too fussy and will run on and even breed more fuel on a fuel load that a PWR would choke on.
Of course just about anything from Thorium on up, used or fresh can be fuel in a sodium cooled reactor. Some real advantages with a SCR. It's not a technical problem. It's money and political will.
Hydrogen fusion of tritium or deuterium has it's attractions. Unfortunately fission compared to a PHWR reactor. Is like comparing a jet engine to a windmill.
