Seriously, I’d like to be more informed about this topic.
Why is Yucca Mountain so bad? It’s been under consideration for 20 years or more.
It’s an important project not only for energy independence but for national security. as we have this waste stored all over the country.
Other than a Yucca Mt. type of facility, all we can do is shoot it into the sun, I guess.
Anyone know how France and Japan get rid of their nuke waste?
Would you want it in *your* backyard?
It's being shoved down our throats. Yucca Mountain is 80 miles NW of Las Vegas. In some areas, 80 miles is an exurb! The waste is going to be shipped by rail and by truck through our city.
We have no nuc plants in NV. We have Hoover Dam, but here in LV, NV power still has to buy electricity from CA and my bill for a 2 bdrm apartment in JANUARY (no AC, minimal heat) is still $116+. I don't even get the benefit of cheap electricty from nuclear plants, but you want us to clean it up for the rest of the country? Ah, no thanks.
