Are you perhaps forgetting the extremely toxic spent fuel rods?

I'd recommend this excellent series if you want a good grounding:

And I also found this video which I haven't watched but I expect will be good and probably attacks your pondering more directly:

when we observe them they will always be in the same state?

The two particles are in different but directly related states. For example in some circumstances with two entangled photons, it will necessarily be the case that one photon has horizontal polarisation and the other vertical polarisation. The two will never have the same polarisation.

You can't know which photon is in which state without measuring one. The effect of taking the measurement travels faster than the speed of light. Measurement is not manipulating though; you can't say "I want this photon to be measured as vertically polarised", you can only ask "what is the polarisation of this photon?". So you can't transmit information faster than light, unfortunately.
