Washington Post, cultist followers of the Obama Regime: Controversy Over Yucca Mountain May Be Ending
Sounds great, right? Ending controversies is always good, isn't it?
Yeah... Funny, that:
In keeping with a pledge President Obama made during the campaign, the budget released last week cuts off almost all funding for creating a permanent burial site for a large portion of the nation's radioactive nuclear waste at the site in the Nevada desert. Congress selected the location in 1987 and reaffirmed the choice in 2002. About $7.7 billion has been sunk into the project since its inception.
although.. I do find it odd that it has now cost us 7.7B to dig a huge hole in the ground. (granted, probably most of that came from litigation and ESA approvals)
