(13,685 posts)How in the world is it that environmental groups who can't get anything done about global warming, able to stop the nuclear industry? Did you know our Senator from Nevada is opposed to Yucca being used?
Blaming the environmental groups for stopping Yucca is ignorant. All they are asking is to make sure nuclear waste is not dumped. Rather that the waste be disposed of properly by the generation that made it and not foisted upon our children. If your only solution is to dump it in Nevada, then you are about the only one left. A member of a minority that blames everyone but themselves for the failure of everybody else to do what the wrong thing.
As for the fossil fuel industry.... you do know they are the same people who run nuclear plants, right? Don't tell me you just now discovered that.
Duke, TVA, Exelon, etc. They are creating the co2 and the nuclear waste. The same corps, in bed, making profits, spewing emissions. Destroying the environment together.
Environmentalists have been fighting both for years now. You should join in.
