re: #472 Spare O’Lake

I believe that nuclear is the way for the US to go and that the risks are justified. But didn’t Obama shut down Yucca Mountain for good because there are actually very real and substantial concerns about the safety and security of the waste?
That being the case, isn’t it a bit arrogant to be dismissive of an opposing viewpoint?

No. There are no technical concerns with merit. Sen. Reid just wanted it shut down b/c greenpeace types get the vapors at the thought of radioactive waste —- even when there’s miles of shielding.
