You pay someone to take it.

You're still not answering my question.
Why should the state of Nevada, who doesn't own the land, be paid some sort of fee?
Should the federal government pay each state a fee for the use of their own land? Where does this craziness end?
Yes, the Fed does own a lot of this state. Does that mean we passively accept the Fed's desire to dump all nuc waste here? No. How would you feel if the Fed decided that your state was to become the new site for all surrounding states garbage?
This is where I live. This crap will be going over highways that I - and many others drive on. Through our cities and towns. When the rail system gets worked out, it is still there. In a geologic active area. Right handy that the Fed ignores that. But I'm sure you believe them. As do all that want to ship their crap somewhere else.
Take your Fed attitude and flush it, pal.
I really wish the shoe was on the other foot.
Would you still be with the argument for the Fed?
LVM
You obviously don't have the brain power to think this through, now do you.
You think it is just fine that this is rammed down this states' throat and no one has - nor should have - any objection.
Your total arguement is that the Fed says it's ok, so shut up Nevada and take it. Tell me, do you remember when you were assimilated?
The thought process of people like you do nothing but insure that the Fed keeps growing into areas where it has no business.
You tell me why this state should be forced to take your (you are the "them" for arguments sake) nuclear waste.
Don't bother to reply if you can't provide an intelligent answer.
LVM
Yes, I have. Not my fault if you missed it.
Why should this state have to prove anything?
Poor logic for an arguement, if you ask me.
So you won't mind if I start running truck / train loads of hazardous waste down your town's streets. And you won't mind if I tell you that I'm going to dump that hazardous waste in an unstable storage area. I'm telling you it is safe, therefore it is.
You are fixated on the fact that because the Fed says its ok, that is good enough for you.
You prove how your state will be damaged by NOT shipping the crap to my state.
Nevada did not generate your waste, nor benefit from the process that generated that waste.
Tell me why we should be forced to take the garbage?
Your state made it, you keep it. Again, prove how your state will be damaged in doing so.
LVM
You can't.
Whining about stuff going down the street doesn't cut it.
If and when Nevada suffers damages from this, there will be no question that the federal government will rush in to repair the damage and compensate anyone who was harmed.
The notion that Nevada should be sent big checks for whining ranks right there with the concept of slavery reparations on the absurdity scale.
