Keep hot waste out

Whatever happened to the alternatives regarding the disposal of nuclear waste in Utah? We don't want any of the nuclear waste to end up here. If we let this deadly material into our state, it's like saying, "Kill me and everyone who is in or even comes near Utah."

If Washington, D.C., were a part of Utah, President Bush would be totally against it. He would probably do everything in his power to stop it from happening. What did Utah do to deserve this punishment?

Why not send the radioactive material to Antarctica? Better yet, why not send it into space? I'm not saying that space is a better place for it, but we need to do everything we can to keep this "garbage" out of Utah. We already have poor air quality in Utah and we don't want more, so please help keep it out!
