“#2 is the federal disposal of waste. That has not cost the taxpayers a single penney. “
Correct me if I am wrong, but $10 billion in tax dollars has been spent on the characterization of Yucca Mountain, before that idiot Reid killed it.
I am all for nukes and say build, build build. But, I would like to see the industry stand on its own economically. I believe there will come a time when the economics will look very good for nukes. I spent many years in the oil exploration business and I do believe in peak oil.
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.
We need to start reprocessing the waste rather than just storing it.
You stand corrected.
