The difference between Nevada charging to store waste and Alaska charging for the oil is that as a condition of statehood that Alaska retain royalties or a percentage from oil and natural gas. Nevada does not even own the land at Yucca mountain. As a condition of statehood non settled federal lands were reserved to the federal government.

You took the billions it took to build yucca mountain and now you do not want to go through with the deal.

Personally I do not see how a block of metal( buried deep in a mountain tunnel way out in the desert )which is what the fuel is can be much concern to anyone as long as you keep it dry. The last I heard Nevada was pretty dry.


A better use of the fuel is to burn it in a reactor and thus reduce the amount need to go to Yucca mountain.


It should not take10 years and cost 2.2 billion to build a light water nuke plant.

There are more reactor types then just LWR.
Checkout
http://thoriumenergy.blogspot.com/ Learn about LFTR reactors( liquid fluoride thorium reactor)

It is a simple concept using a liquid fuel consisting of a uranium 233 dissolved in a fluoride salt with a thorium blanket. Which breeds U 233 from this thorium blanket. Most of the safety systems are not required because the reactor cannot melt down. It already is melted. it burns more of the fuel because the fission products are removed and reprocessed as you go along. this leaves you with waste that have a half life of a few hundred years. Thorium is cheap in fact we have enough already stockpiled in Nevada( buried in cargo containers at he Nevada test site) to fuel the world with electricity for 3 years. in some designs you can burn some spend nuclear fuel by just dissolving it in some fluoride fuel salt. Trans mutates that bad old plutonium and other so called waste into energy. If it is transmuted it can not be used to make a bomb.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We need each and everyone of you to deliver the ENTIRE signed candidate petition to Senator McCain and Senator Obama. Go to the candidates campaign office nearest you and ask them what THEIR plan is to end our dependence on foreign oil!

To find out more, please link here.

For a copy of the signed petition, with all the signatures from New Energy Army who have signed so far, please link here. It may be long, but printing it out will be worth it! All the signatures will let the Obama and McCain campaigns know that we mean business.

As you can imagine, if the campaigns received a printout of this petition at each of their campaign headquarters across the country, it would get some attention. We realize not every state/region has a campaign office, but we would like to set a goal of getting at least one copy of the petition delivered to a campaign office in every state where there is a campaign office between now and election day.

If you cannot find a campaign office nearest you, please message me. I have a large list and I will try to help find an office nearest you!!

I would like to organize a mass email going out to Sen Reid from the members of the Nevada group. Even after the election would be O.K.
