We have no need for more nuclear waste and hazards. Co2 does nothing. Hopefully Pam Bondi will prosecute Co2 Fraud immediately.

This is what is known as a "paper bag." It is similar to religion. Words are written in the inside of the paper bag, the bag is put over the head, and all the moron wearing the paper bag is intellectually capable of doing is parroting what is written on the inside of the paper bag.
Co2 causes "warming." MSNBC said so. So the actual data showing NO WARMING IN THE ATMOSPHERE does not matter. Only the paper bag does....
For the Pro Israel Christian, same thing.
Israel good, anyone who notices Israel did

is "bad" because "truth" is what is written on the inside of the paper bag, and reality outside of the paper bag matters not.

Did you read or just copy and paste?Co2 does nothing.
Solar and wind should not be subsidized, nor should nuclear.
We should use hydrocarbons and make America competitive again...
Long-term nuclear waste warning messages - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The first is spent fuel from nuclear reactors used to generate electricity. Those reactors have left us with about 80,000 metric tonnes of used spent fuel, and we don’t have a way forward for the disposal of this waste. It’s stored at more than 75 sites in 35 states around the country, so many of us have some in our state, including California.
The steep costs of nuclear waste in the U.S.

The second category is the waste generated by our nuclear weapons complex. That defense waste has accumulated since the earliest days of the Manhattan Project. The highly-radioactive waste from chemical processing is mainly stored in very large metal tanks. They are located at the Savannah River site in South Carolina, the Hanford site in Washington State, at Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho, and Nuclear Fuel Services site at West Valley in New York State.
“
I think it’s discouraging that we continue to release radioactivity to the environment because after more than 40 years we still have not developed a successful plan for going forward. ”
The two categories of waste are separated in the budget. At the moment, the budget for the Department of Energy is about $30 billion. Of that budget, about $12 billion is for the nuclear weapons programs. That leaves us $18 billion to use for all things related to energy — nuclear power, fossil fuel, wind, and solar. About $6 billion, one third, is used to deal with the legacy high-level waste from the Manhattan Project. We as taxpayers pay $6 billion every year to address that problem, a huge cost that we will incur for many decades into the future. The projected total cost of clean-up after the Manhattan Project is well over $300 billion. That’s more than the original cost of the weapons programs and the actual total will be even higher. That’s just the defense waste.
There is zero problems with waste from commercial nuclear power plants. There is nothing in your article that details any sort of problem.
The article does mention government, so there you have it, the government is a problem. The tangled mess of competing politicians rules and laws and their power.
Time to get the government out of our life and let MAGA fix it

Nuclear waste is very low.The nuclear industry is using Co2 FRAUD to push for a comeback. It is a comeback we do not need. Nuclear is hazardous and the waste problem is costly, dangerous, and always results in a "not in my backyard" court fight.
It is time to start undoing the harm caused by traitors W, homO, and Biden. Co2 does absolutely nothing. Earth is not warming. There is no ongoing net ice melt. Hence, there is no need for more nuclear.
The Co2 Fraud for Dummies....
OK, so maybe not everyone is proficient at basic science.... OK. But most of you can understand some things.

Apparently we really need a "debate" over the term ICE AGE because y'all are all wrong...
What is an ICE AGE? Most apparently still believe it is a terrifying horror movie event where Earth all at once freezes up. The data has never supported such a scenario. Since 2010, there has been a massive effort to re-write Earth climate history into a series of rapid "glaciations" and ice...

Wow Dude you are like so out of it....We do put our own people to work and we do use it....
The United States' consumption of coal and natural gas has changed over time, with natural gas becoming the dominant energy source in the late 2010s and early 2020s:
- Coal
In 2021, coal accounted for 11% of the nation's energy, down from a larger share in the past. Coal consumption has been declining, and carbon dioxide emissions from coal have decreased by 50% since 2007. This is due to the decommissioning of coal-fired power plants and a shift to cleaner energy sources.
- Natural gas
In 2021, natural gas accounted for 32% of the nation's energy. In 2020, natural gas consumption reached 32.6 quadrillion BTUs. In 2022, natural gas consumption set nine monthly records and an annual record. Natural gas is used for firm power and to balance intermittent renewable energy sources.
- Petroleum: In 2021, petroleum accounted for 36% of the nation's energy.
- Renewable energy: In 2021, renewable energy accounted for 12% of the nation's energy.
- Nuclear power: In 2021, nuclear power accounted for 8% of the nation's energy.
We do put our own people to work
Here's some information about payroll in the US coal and natural gas industries:
- Natural gas
In November 2024, the average annual salary for a natural gas worker in the US was $115,000, or about $55.29 per hour.
- Coal
In November 2024, the average hourly pay for a coal mine worker in the US was $21.17. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average salary for a coal miner is $89,000 per year.
- Wages in the energy industry
According to a 2020 report, energy workers earn 34% more than the median US wage.
- Wages in the coal mining industry
According to IBISWorld, total wages paid by the coal mining industry declined 8% per year on average between 2019 and 2024.
- Wages in the energy sector
A report from Reuters found that workers in nuclear, electric power transmission and distribution, natural gas, and coal have the highest median hourly wages of the 10 energy industries analyzed.
- Unionization and wages
Utility jobs are more likely to be unionized, and union representation is correlated with higher wages and benefits.

Nuclear waste has multiple uses, including recycling and disposal:
- Recycling
Most of the material in used nuclear fuel can be recycled, including uranium and plutonium. These elements can be mixed with fresh uranium to create new fuel rods. Recycling reduces the volume of high-level waste and the radiological footprint of waste.
- Disposal
Nuclear waste can be disposed of in a variety of ways, including:- Near-surface disposal: Suitable for short-lived waste and low-level waste.
- Deep geological disposal: Suitable for long-lived waste and high-level waste.
- Storage in dry casks: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses dry cask storage facilities for up to 40 years.
- Storage in spent fuel pools: Fuel is typically cooled in the pool for at least five years before transfer to a cask.
- Storage in spent fuel pools: Fuel is typically cooled in the pool for at least five years before transfer to a cask.
- Near-surface disposal: Suitable for short-lived waste and low-level waste.

The first thing to do is to shut down the Co2 FRAUD.
That's the primary excuse for shifting away from Coal.
Nuke is 8% but because of Co2 FRAUD they want it much larger.
Electricity demand is forecasted to skyrocket with AI and robots. We do not need EVs, at least not subsidized, and they are not competitive at all even subsidized $50k per vehicle.

This is "la la land" that nuke waste isn't a problem, isn't a hazard, doesn't cost much to store it safely...
That's complete BS from those who want more nuke plants now.
Nuke waste is unimaginably expensive, is off the scale hazardous, and inevitably leads to billions $ just spent on lawsuits about it.

Google says this
According to available information, the cost of disposing of nuclear power plant waste in the United States can range from tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars, with estimates from the Department of Energy (DOE) placing the figure around $50 billion for existing waste, with ongoing costs to manage new waste generated each year; this cost includes the expense of storing and eventually disposing of the waste in a dedicated repository, like the proposed Yucca Mountain site in Nevada.

That makes no sense what so ever. Cows belch methane which is a serious GHG, you should be concerned about that too.

If Earth was really experiencing an ongoing net ice melt, then surely you can show us photos of land sinking as a result of that.
And if Earth was experiencing an ongoing net ice melt, that would release a lot of gas trapped in the glacier ice back into the atmosphere, increasing surface air pressure.... but that's not happening either, SAP is actually going down over the past 60 years...
It takes an IQ over 5 to notice these things....

How big, you do not understand what it means if someone asks how big something is? You know, physical size. The dimensions, what is the dimensions of the amount of waste from nuclear reactors.
How can we address a problem. Discuss a problem if we do not know the size, the dimensions.
Or is that something you don't want to mention?
