There's an anti-Angle-because-she-is-pro-Yucca advertisement running on my blog right now. Dear Senator Reid ... I'm pro-Yucca too. I know, yucky. But the mess is already out there, needing to be stored somewhere safer than it currently is.
My question is why Harry Reid thinks Sharon Angle is anti-jobs for Nevada when he doesn't want Yucca Mountain. Especially considering that he wants to help usher the USA into a green economy. Just what kind of green jobs does he really want Nevada get? Ten guys running around the desert wiping the buzzard crap off solar panels that covered up all our wide open spaces? Or thousands of people that will have jobs if Yucca Mountain is used to store radioactive waste for the rest of human history?
Let's get realistic ... covering the desert southwest with solar panels or wind turbines isn't feasible. Coal isn't really clean. So, it will likely be nuclear that powers the United States as humanity moves into the next phase. Storing the radioactive mess at one site where the Fed and electric companies have ALREADY invested billions and billions kinda makes sense.
Actually, it makes the only sense. The electric companies that need to dump their waste have invested in Yucca Mountain since the start. How would the US pay them back if we stopped the plan?
Of course, I don't know that I have a whole lot of faith in the government funded studies that created Yucca Mountain. But, my not really trusting an inefficient government is just another reason I'm anti-Reid.
Face it...
Reid has been in DC for decades and he didn't stop Yucca Mountain from being developed. It's partly his fault we have the facility here in Nevada!
If Reid ever successfully did get Yucca Mountain shut down (which is an empty promise he picked hoping for the anti-YM crowd vote) that would be the epitome of government inefficiency and waste.
