This country and the rest of the world needs to go to nuclear. Its plain and simple. Nuclear waste disposal is not a technical issue, it's a political issue. There are areas of Nevada where we did nuclear testing (Atom bombs) in the 50's and 60's that we will be guarding for centuries. Places that are already very hot. Why not store it there? Besides Yucca Mtn. Where should you put nuclear waste? How about in a place where you've already contaminated? Yucca Mtn. and the WIPP, the waste isolation pilot project in Carlsbad, NM have been geological stable for about a million years, yet the anti-nuke people say that isn't good enough.
