What a crock of shit. There have been several plans (Yucca Mountain for one) and every goddamn time some tree-hugging fuckers manage to derail it.
The real shame is there's a fuckton of energy left in that waste.. Much of it could be consumed to make power with the right kind of reactor.. but no....
No.. the fact that it hasn't been dealt with isn't the government's fault, mostly. It's the retards that would rather block every plan to permanently store it somewhere "safe" and so we're left with this shit sitting out in the open for 40-50 years..
The leftists in this country are so fucking hypocritical.. I'm watching it play out in real time with solar power. Every fucking plan to build panel arrays in my area is opposed by screaming lefties who don't want that shit anywhere near them. They don't even want to SEE it. Listened to these cunts demand renewables for decades and now they oppose solar farms, windmills (bird-kills), new hydro dams (the fish!), solar concentrators (near Vegas), and even plans to build geothermal plants out near the Salton Sea (some fucking desert tortoise or something). The last one would also produce enormous volumes of Lithium.. and the liberals oppose it.. I don't know how CA ever managed to get their battery storage online.. I'm sure the liberals were freaking out about that too..
