Nuclear power is no solution
Re: “Regrettable change: Yucca Mountain decision delays N-waste solution,” March 8: It’s my understanding that it took a full 10 years to dig the Yucca Mountain “permanent” N-waste storage tunnel, but it will only take eight years to fill it with N-waste.
You call that a “solution”? Politics aside, at that rate we’ll never be able to “dig” ourselves out of our N-waste problem (just as lifelong oilman T. Boone Pickens says we’ll never be able to “drill” ourselves out of our future oil shortage).
Are you aware of how France “disposes” of their own N-waste after generating 80 percent of their electricity from N-power plants?
