Yucca Mountain

Fire of Liberty

George Will has a great column in The New York Post on Yucca Mountain which is the future nuclear waste repository in Nevada. While the building of the site has generated a bevy of complaints from the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) crowd in Nevada, Will points out that it will provide a safe and secure site for such deadly material. It's far easier too secure the waste in one central location rather than having it dispersed in the countless powerplants throughout the nation that requires far greater security. Stay tuned to this issue, nuclear energy and its subsequent storage will be a chief concern, what with the dependency on oil from volatile areas.
