<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for DOE applies to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Orfintain http://www.grist.org/article/yucca6/ Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:51:17 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/yucca6/1 On Polotics and Reason

People tend the view the yucca mountain project in on of two ways

1)As a way to argue their view for or against nuclear energy

This project is not a green light for building lots more nuclear power plants.

Yucca mountain is is about what do with the stockpiles of nuclear waste we have scattered about the country today

2)The not in my backyard position
The proximity of nuclear waste to people would be greatly reduced when moved to yucca mountain and away from power plants that are in rural areas in some cases.

The nuclear waste we have created is never going to "go-away" yucca mountain is the most safe realistic solution the problem.

The only reason some people want to find a place to put all the U.S. nuclear waste is to help out the nuclear industry, which is the main proponent of finding a repository and of promoting Yucca Mountain.  Aside from putting the waste in the homes of everyone who profits from and/or supports nuclear power, leaving it in the power plants is the best option.  Eventually, they'll become so choked with their own waste they'll have to shut down.
