Comments about ‘Yucca application set for submission’

Looks like Bush has decided to abandon the west by continuing with this destructive and controversial policy. Why you people continue to defend him is beyond me. He is the worst president we've had in the past 50 years, and likely ever will have.

Senator Reid needs to stand aside and get out of the US's way for energy progress. With our dependence on foreign oil, we ought to be building nuclear powerplants all over this country. Yucca mountain is extremely safe for nuclear waste. If you want to know why we can't get off of our dependence on oil, there's one of your major reasons right in this article. Liberals!

After $6B it's about time! If we could get Reid and other politicians who just see this as a chance to score greenie points to lay off, we could start doing what's REALLY best for the country (and quit throwing money at litigation costs). Yucca is as close to perfect as we can get for a place to put this stuff. We need to get over the hype from the 1950's and 1960's that has us all scared to death of nuclear power and it's resulting waste which, by the way, holds far less potential for harm to the environment than the crap we put into the air with coal and gas fired plants every day. The likelyhood of the nuclear waste stored at Yucca EVER harming the environment is slim to none. We make a mess of our atmosphere all the time with fossil fuel generated electricity. How can we still be so dumb!?
