PLEASE, did I get this right? Even though it is clear that Utahn's do not want our State to be a nuclear dumping ground, another "waste site provider" gets to pursue its rights all in the name of "honest competition?" Another waste of our tax dollars.
The decision allowing Energy solutions into this state is looking worse and worse.
Yes, that's right. It's called private enterprise. And the premise that "utahns do not want our state to be nuclear dumping ground" is very loaded. Most folks in Tooele County where the sites are located support them as they provide good, high-paying jobs and needed tax revenue and also provide a service that our nation needs as long as it's done right. This is low-level stuff, not high-level nuclear waste. The two are really not even comparable. Wish everyone would look at the science involved and not just run screaming "the sky is falling and we're all going to die" just because the word "nuclear" is involved.
