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?
