trademark hypocrisy

I'm not sure I understand what all the problem is about. I've never heard of any problems that we've had storing nuclear materials. As I understand it the Utah facility is extremely well equipped to handle fissile material. For myself, I am not worried about putting radioactive material under the ground. That's where it comes from in the first place. Honestly why would anyone care about putting radioactivity into the ground? my only concern would be it leaking into groundwater. If this concern can be eliminated, and it likely will it in the desert, it would be better to store it belowground than aboveground. There would be more security. It is all right to have radioactive material underground. Uranium ore is underground and I don't hear any one protesting that we should dig it's all up to prevent it from leaking into groundwater.

I'm amazed how uneducated Utah citizens are about Energy Solutions. They slap their name on the basketball arena in Salt Lake and not very many people see what theya re really doing.

We can't even safely dispose of our own countries nuclear waste.How in the hell can we import nuclear waste from another country?This is impossible,and supremely dangerous.Why don't we dump our nuclear waste in Africa,sarcasm.We have been dumping toxic waste in Africa for decades.Africa is easy.They don't have a generally high rate of education.They are extremely poor and nobody cares about Africa.

How comfortable are you with the idea that the metric by which we determine how nuclear waste is disposed of could be campaign contributions? A Utah-based company seeking a contract to import nuclear waste for processing at their facility is throwing money at key members of Congress in an effort to advance their interests, over the objections of environmental groups.
