[Rhodes22-list] Nuclear Waste Disposal (Was The HydrogenEconomyII)

[Ronald Lipton]

I wouldn't trust the DOE as far as I can throw it.  That is why the
reviews, courts and "tree huggers" are especially important in this
context.  It helps to keep them a bit more honest.  A single depository
is clearly safer and more economical than the hundreds of marginally
maintained waste sites all around the country.  The DOE is the right
agency, even if they are rife with beauocracy and political motivations.

If you don't trust the DOE with maintenance of a waste site you probably
should not think about the gigatons of nuclear weapons passing through
their hands. There may not be enough rum in the South to calm you down.
