I would love to know how this is handled in other parts of the world. Particularly the regulatory side because this is a potential health nightmare for OH&S if not the water table and the neighbourhood.
The escrow requirements for maintainance of state would be interesting too. Who exactly benefits from the spend? Is this contestable by a future generation? In effect, does the corpse become property?
Perpetual funding is a pretty bizarre concept, but that said the entire 'south sea bubble' debt exist inside British gilts for hundreds of years, they only wiped them out recently at the same time as the WW1 debt, so carrying forward into the future does happen, albiet mostly at scale by governments.
I guess if you turned the dewer flasks into a freak show and charged, you might even be able to fund the cooldown by revenue.
