Yes, and speaking of FIRST CLASS RATS, where-oh-where does Mr. REID propose that nuclear waste be stored or disposed of??? (the bottom line issue in this matter)
I don't blame him and his constituents for not wanting it in Utah, but when the US Government somehow found the way to begin the excavations beneath Yucca Mountain MANY years ago -- and BILLIONS already spent there -- those of us who CARE about the FUTURE at least recognized this was a HUGE step UP -- if not perfect.
Yucca Mountain is one of the most isolated and geologically stable sites in the US. Those of us long-horrified that IN ALL THESE YEARS, WE HAVE ONLY STORED THIS HUGELY MOUNTING WASTE IN INSECURE, TEPORARY SITES IN CONTAINERS NOT MEANT TO LAST "FOREVER" (many now leaking, etc. -- and the sprawling SEMI-SECURED radio-active mess becoming MORE AND MORE VULNERABLE to theft, terrorist attack, and MASSIVE ecological accident), MUST unite to deal with the WASTE of our greedy demand for energy.
