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:
