Since 1983 the US has spent more than $13.5 BILLION dollars on that empty hole. Can't recall the senior Senator ever complaining about the jobs and money DOE brought in to Nevada.

Congressional elections are going to be a bloodbath for these hypocrites.  

well ... since 1983 the republicans have been in govt 18 years and the democrats 9. which hypocrites are you referring to?

A sad day - it was a great place for such storage. The alternative for 
the current waste is worse. True, transportation would always be an 
issue, but killing the site itself as not being capable of storage is 
beyond the pale.

NIMBY, a powerful senator, a left-of-Marx president and his hand picked 
head of the DOE did it in.

Some of you workers in the states may recall that the Oils brought 
some Anti-nuclear activists around with them on their last tour back 
in 2002. These folk were engaged in a campaign to stop a 
poorly-conceived and even more poorly-located nuclear waste depository 
in Nevada which would have received shipments from nuclear facilities 
around the country in a massive relocation of rather dangerous stuff 
the "green nuclear" people would rather you not think about.
Through the magic of Powderworks, I got connected with them over the 
waste transport issues, having spent some of my childhood years in a 
community that was frequently impacted by nuke shipments.
That repository - Yucca Mountain - will likely never receive one 
truckload of mess. Now that a real scientist is heading the DOE, he 
has filed paperwork to pull the plug:
