A good article on nuclear waste disposal. The liberals continue to
pull the wool over the eyes of the masses, but maybe the word is
getting out. France has had the right idea for lots of years.

Note also the Opinion Journal Forum.
"Otherwise, great editorial and great message. Unlike its competition,
fossil fuel combustion, heavy metal fission does not inherent produce
a nasty waste product that needs immediate release into our common
atmosphere. It produces a relatively tiny amount of very dense
material with useful properties that can be easily stored until it can
be recycled and reused. Canceling Yucca Mountain may have been the
smartest decision yet by the new administration."

The liberals are scared to death of a few tons of Nuclear waste,
while they want power plants to capture 3 billion tons/year of
carbon dioxide gas and store it forever. (National Geographic
figures) It gets worse if they store it as a metal salt, now they
are storing 7 billion tons/year of hazardous materials with all of
the regulated controls.

Can you imagine the kill zone if a large container carbon dioxide
ruptures and a few 1000 tons of carbon dioxide gas instantly was
spread over a community? Everything, people animals, etc. would be
dead for miles.

Personally I would prefer a few thousand pounds of Nuclear waste, on
container failure it would slowly leak from its containers and could
be contained.

Really? What if it were blown up by a nuclear explotion?

In the 70 years since nuclear energy was developed, name one explosion
of a nuclear power plant?

Chernobyl and Three Mile Island

They didn't "explode".
