The problem with nukes is that there is nowhere to store the waste products. It's clean power, but the waste byproducts are terrible. One mountain in Nevada will not suffice, and cities along the rail routes don't want the wastes passing through their cities.
That's concerned me for years, decades even.
There's always been some resentment on my part, about how Nevada's considered a "wasteland," and the only place fit for such waste. Nevada actually is a very fragile and unique ecosystem, and needs left alone.
After all, Nebraska itself, in the heart, the spinal column, of America, was once considered a "wasteland".....until it was discovered we sit atop the largest underground ocean of fresh water in the world...
So Nevada's no "wasteland;" it just has potential that we haven't discerned yet.
I've always suggested nuclear wastes be stored in a place that's irretrievably ruined, incapable of restoration.
Vermont would make an excellent storage-place; the Dems, liberals, and primitives did a good job, a really good job, in utterly destroying it, and it's beyond repair anyway.
