We were ready to go with Yucca Mountain. Harry Reed took billions of dollars for his state to build the repository for nuclear waste. After taking all of those billions he deep-sixed it on the last day. It was all a charade. Now we store the waste where it's created and it's much more unsafe than what it would be in Yucca Mountain.

- Excellent. Nuc Energy can replace gas cars by providing bountiful, low cost electricity btw. [NT]
