The Obama administration is just full of wrongheaded decisions. After
wasting 13 billion, the federal government is pulling the plug on the nuclear waste site in Nevada. The government has been charging ratepayers since 1982 to take the waste from nuclear power plants, none of which has it even taken.
So now the nuclear industry has nowhere to go with this waste. They stopped planning because the government had taken the job. That was a bad idea to start with, but now the government isn't going to give back the money it took or take the waste.
Of course this is part of the plan that liberals have on nuclear energy. They have hated nuclear energy for decades. Today's biggest reason is probably because its the only "clean and green" energy that could actually replace coal and oil. Unlike other green energy sources favored by liberals like wind and solar that have no chance of ever becoming more then niche sources.
By making it impossible to rid the waste they hope that will finally put the last nail in nuclear power in the U.S.
Exporting it will be impossible due to security reasons. And finding another site will also be impossible.
Democrats new slogan should be : Making problems last forever, so we can get reelected!
Hoping for Real Change!
