Yucca Mt…an epic waste of money and technology…so what’s the alternative now? or is there one?…all that tax money down the tubes

Closing Yucca Mountain will leave 130,000 metric tons of nuclear waste stranded at 131 different sites spread across 39 states. The federal government will be at risk of breach-of-contract lawsuits for breaking agreements with utility companies. Some estimates indicate the potential for the Obama DOE could incur more than 50 billion dollars of legal liability in the case.

Again, blame Jimmy Carter (and you know where I stand on the political spectrum albusteve). Why we want to bury fuel that can be re-enriched and re-used I’ll never understand. The idea that any American plutonium will end up used in foreign weapons is bullshit. Burn, don’t bury.
