FLASHPOINT for Apr 26, 2007

Thursday, April 26, 2007 | 7:04 a.m.

Tonight we will find out if what happens in South Carolina stays in South Carolina. I hope that when the Democratic presidential hopefuls gather for the first debate of the campaign, someone asks a question about nuclear waste. Nuclear power is big in South Carolina. Consumers have paid an estimated $2 billion into the federal nuclear waste management fund. Thousands of metric tons of spent fuel are being stored in the state. I wonder how these supposed Friends of Nevada will answer if asked whether they support getting that waste out of South Carolina and on its way to Yucca Mountain. Imagine what will happen if they give the answers there that they give here .
