Your statement is wrong. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act established a fund which was paid for by a tax on every kwhr of nuclear-generated electricity. It was paid for by consumers, not taxpayer dollars.
Thanks for the correction. Same difference as I see it. It may not have been a “tax”, but the consumer still took it in the pocket book. I am wondering if the consumer is going to get a refund now that Yucca Mountain has been killed? I keep waiting to see where they are planning on storing the waste now. I assume the consumer is still being required to pay for waste storage even though the process is stalled? When that moron Reid and Odumbo killed Yucca, they should have rescinded the required funding for it.
