<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for McCain on nuclear waste problem]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by David Roberts http://www.grist.org/article/waste-line/ Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:55:15 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/waste-line/1 The real story

To me the real story here is not his usual daftness in either misunderstanding or mis-speaking.

To me the big story is his clear and repeated admission that having nuclear waste laying around the country in pools and casks is dangerous.

So some enterprising reporter should ask him: Absent a permanent waste storage facility in Yucca, would you still support building dozens of new nuclear power plants? Would that not exacerbate a problem you yourself admit is dangerous and untenable in the long term?

Kate, call him up!

too long.

... clear and repeated admission that having nuclear waste laying around the country in pools and casks is dangerous.

A stupid mistake on the part of anyone not largely in receipt of oil and gas tax revenue, and therefore not financially interested in the production of wastes that have done real harm; a cynical lie on the part of anyone who is.
