The objections of Harry Reid are not based on any science, but hear say, rumor, and speculation. Who will repay the 13 Billion the industry has paid for Yucca Mountain if it is not adopted. If the "blue panel committee to be appointed by Secretary Chu to review the nuclear waste solution does not include Yucca Mountain as an option it will already bias its results. Secretary Chu will not get any credible results for the committee if his instructions include his exemption of Yucca Mountain, simply because Harry Reid objects.

The problem is the Waste created and the Strategy for dealing with it. When you cannot smell,taste or see something the explanation for what you plan to do to address it better be clear and based on facts! 59% of respondents cannot tell the Difference between a Proton,Neutron or Electron!

The environmental extremists do not care about anything else but to shut down nuclear power. Even though the survey seems to indicate majority favor it, it will never get off the ground. There are enough lawyers and other parasites to see to it that a licensed plant never gets off the ground. For example, FPL who owns Seabrook Nuclear plant wants to construct a second plant at the same site. The old clam shell idiots are stirring up again to mount agitation to stop it even before a license is issued. I just wish that the utilities simply shut down all the power plants and vow not to start them up until the government gets rid of all the parasites standing in the way of progress. We don't have to prove the safety of nuclear power to obdurate Neanderthals. The issue about Nuclear power in this country is not based on logic but pure demagoguery.

I also believe that Japan and Korea are also significant users. Most of the plants are modeled after the ones Westinghouse or GE has installed in the USA. I believe that somehow this information has not been given enough visibility in the debates over safety and somehow we should take the opportunity to do so again and again.
