Comments about ‘Italy's 'dirty linen'’

It is so beautiful! The rolling hills, red poppies, vinyards, and cypress trees! The architecture is simply magnificent! The birthplace of da Vinci, Vivaldi, and Pavarotti! Come on! You can't dump nuclear waste there!

Because we LOVE money!

Just more fear-based anti-ES rantings.

You complain that it won't BENEFIT you, or your bank account.

Well... Why SHOULD it benefit YOU?

Must everything that happens anywhere in the State have a benefit to YOU in Ivans?

How does the job I do benefit YOU? My company just develops software products. Is that benefiting or hurting you?



May I ask a more relevant question?

How does this dirty_linen HARM you in Ivans? The facility is in Clive, right? And you live near St George. So you are harmed how?




IF they had just brought the "dirty_linen" and burried it without announcement... Do you think you would even KNOWN about it? Much less been HARMED by it???

I_doubt_it.



I know you had a bad experinece in the 50s but this ISNT above_ground_nuclear_explosions. Its different.

Try to get over the FEAR and irrational negative feelings towards Energy_Solutions and what they do in Clive.

Think_about_it...
Has Energy_Solutions EVER harmed you? If you have an instance, I would like to hear about it.

You need to try to think about this rationally. If you do, I think you will find that the fear_mongering and anti_nuke rhetoric is not called for.

how the Chinese feel when a boat load of America's dirty linen (E-waste) shows up in a Chinese port.

The fact is that the NIMBYists (nee environmentalists) in both Italy and the US have made a routine activity (waste disposal) so unbelievably complicated that it is easier to ship waste half-way around the world for recycling/disposal than it is to manage it locally.

Note that all E-waste generated in Utah is shipped out-of-state. If we are going to complain about others dumping on us then we must first stop dumping our environmental impacts on others.

Note that this is unreprocessed waste. Meaning that 98%+ of the energy available from the "depleted" uranium is still there.

This "waste" could power all of Utah for decades.

Seems like a better deal, now, huh?

You say that, "This "waste" could power all of Utah for decades". That isn't true. This waste couldn't power ANYTHING for ANY period of time.

This is "Low-Level" waste, "Class A" waste (which is the lowest level possible).

Quit trying to mislead people with your lies.
