Nevada doesnt mean a thing to Hairless Harry at this point, its all about whos back needs the scatching. If anything tells us in politics, it is, to heck with the people, they do not know what they want, so I will do what I think is correct, and the politicians will always do for the group(s) that will do for them...check this out this is typical Reid....

Cornyn balked at a quick vote on Clinton, expressing dissatisfaction with the steps she has promised to guard against potential conflicts of interest involving foreign donations to the foundation her husband, former President Bill Clinton, set up.
"You have a unique circumstance. . . . Two of the most powerful people in America happen to be married to each other. A former president who's got this foundation and accepting huge contributions from foreign nationals and foreign countries happens to be married to the person who will be the chief diplomat for the United States," Cornyn said Tuesday. "I think it needs some more work to have greater transparency. If it doesn't get handled now, it probably won't get handled. So it's important to talk about it now."
Early Tuesday, Cornyn spokesman Kevin McLaughlin said Cornyn was "keeping all of his options on the table," including a possible filibuster.
That irked Clinton's home-state colleague, Sen. Charles E. Schumer , D-N.Y. "At most, he'll hold it off for two days," Schumer said. "What's the point? We've already gone through the process."
Majority Leader Harry Reid , D-Nev., later secured a unanimous consent agreement to vote on Clinton's nomination Wednesday.

These projects are always about science, anyone who thinks different is not all there. It may be a political game on funding issues and the tag you're it show but, these projects are always evaluated and designed with the utmost safety intended. Some folks would be just downright dangerous, if they knew what they were talking about...JEEZ...and this Andy Weitman...what a moron!!!

I have had it with Nevada, hopefully, the DOE will not ever spend one more penny in the state. It seems that the thinking is that of Californian style, or even worse.

Whats the problem with offering more programs? Some people have to complain about everything. Maybe our colleges should be geared towards what the government wants us to be?? Get real!!

What the sad part is, is that after 20 years and billions spent, these groups appear with speculations instead of facts. It is sad that NV and their hired henchmen waited 20 years to protest the building of this depository, it is actually a crime against the taxpayer. I admit a full review is not a problem but, should have been performed long ago. Based on a final review, if it is found to be a viable and safe option then build it, if not, pull the plug and any future DOE ventures in Nevada.

For those who can even try to make reason of the low cost of renewables compared to nuclear, you are beating a dead horse. For those who would actually study and educate yourselves on comparable energy providers, you would find nuclear is cheaper. Renewables should be a part of our portfolio for energy requirements but, they cannot and will not sustain our needs for the base load consumption we need and certainly will require in the future. Renewables will cost us dearly, and with little return as far as capacity or value. Nuclear, at this point is a great option, it will finally make this generation worth while, we have squandered technology, industry and jobs away to make fanatics happy, all the while leaving our kids with little to make a living for themselves. We need Yucca, we need nuclear, we can use, at this point, what we can to turn this country around.

NV has made the bed, pull out all of Yucca funds. If I was the DOE I would also assure I would not spend one more penny in Nevada. Find a state that wants the funds and work and then put a plan together that works. Let NV find its similar fate with its neighbor California. Maybe together both of these states can increase pollution, crime, jobless rates and decrease school funding and state capital.

Your study still has not shown much in the way of your arguement. Primary and secondary study? Well, if you say so but, your input on reporductive problems? It shows you have not performed any studies. Do you realize what you are talking about? And thanks but, I have been involved in studies of nuclear power and processing for 30 years, I have an education to support theories and studies performed in the last 30 years on hazards related to industry including nuclear power and processing, apparently you need to do more study, you are too far away for worry on reproductive problems, you would not even be close enough to get enough a dose which would be higher than the current background dose you have around you. Get a clue!

Anna, your 27 years hasnt taught you much, you agree with the ignorant. You need to educate yourself before you speak. This country seems to have its fair share of wack jobs who jump band wagons and know nothing about what they are talking about. You have proven this is an American disease, evidentally.

Oleszak! Now you are making me laugh, and talk about not knowing crap, you take the cake buck wheat!! Terrorist..come on, you been listening to Greenpeace quacks, or maybe you are one of these wack jobs, and radiation posisoning....thats a good laugh, actually what makes me laugh the most, is the ignorance on the subject, yet you want to portray you have any idea or yet you want to say you are a subject matter expert...most people who read your sorry feedback, who have been associated with radiation or contamination or for that matter nuclear power or waste processing would laugh out loud at your feedback. Whats more, your hero Hairless Reid, has dark side to him and that is he is out for his own, not Nevada's. I would not be surprised to find out he is highly invested in the renewable energy market, which by the way is another government farce, and the people will know later that it is, when renewables cost us billions with little return on anything...better yet, here is a little article for you to read about your hero...get a clue!!!
