The Next Keystone: Now that the GOP has taken the pipeline fight as far as it can, where to next? Nevada.
I used to live quite near this in Nevada, a few hours north of Las Vegas. When this was a big debate (10 to 15 years ago), I knew geologists who were very certain the site was very stable and well suited to this purpose. I knew other geologists who thought the site was unstable and that the project was therefore too risky.
I am not a geologist, I have no idea. I am pro-nuclear, but the existing waste seems a sticky wicket for which there are few good solutions.
So, as regards Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository, what do the keen minds on this site think - it is a safe or unsafe location?

But with the Keystone fight losing steam, another high-profile energy battle is bubbling back up: the decades-old debate over Nevada’s Yucca Mountain, the proposed site of a massive federal repository for America’s nuclear waste. |
