Harry Reid has stopped all consideration of underground storage....most prominently Yucca Mountain. Again....liberals' manufactured boogeyman trumps all. And yet liberals have the gall to tell us how bad oil, fracking, and coal is? They're the reason nuclear energy expansion was killed!

Inconvenient facts just never support your hyperventilating, no matter what the topic.

Republican Governor of Nevada (Kenny Guinn) objected to the Yucca Mountain site in 2002. Congress overrode him. Most citizens of Nevada are opposed to the site.

Harry Reid is opposed, in part, because he is representing his constituents.

Be prepared for a big deflection when faced with facts.

Keywords: Congress overrode him, and Harry Reid has stopped all consideration.

Nothing I have said is false. In fact, what you have said here actually validates my statement.

So, you were saying?

An elected representative representing the views of his constituents seems like a novel idea to you.

No, nothing you said is false, but you missed the whole story. People in Nevada are opposed to it, be they liberal or conservative. That was my point.

Hmmm . . . I wonder where the Russians and their neighbors put their wastes.

Maybe they strategically bury it in a location opposite New York City, for eventual NYC Syndrome.

For the past 40 years, America could have been building upon a tried and true energy infrastucture. But, no. We can't have that here in America. Liberals just won't allow it. And because of that, America missed the boat.

In essence, no one should listen to any liberal anywhere when it comes time to have a thoughtful discussion on energy policy. They screwed America royally on the nuclear power issue. And now they have the gall to tell us how bad coal, fracking, and oil is?

It would have served man-woman-kind better to have gone Tesla rather than Einstein.

Its interesting that this is the one thing that liberals will not look to Europe for its model.

France produces 75% of its energy via nuclear power.
