Letter: Put nuclear waste in your own back yard

I read in the Jan. 30 edition of the Las Vegas Sun about President Bush's proposal to lease nuclear fuel to certain foreign nations. After they have used it, they would, in turn, return their waste to us to be reposited at Yucca Mountain. I simply cannot believe, that after all the controversy regarding Yucca Mountain, our president would even suggest such a proposal.

But I have an idea that could possibly help. How about building a new repository about 100 miles from the president's ranch in Texas. Plenty of open spaces there!
