Congressman Shimkus calls on New England senators to address the issue of high-level nuclear waste stored on the shores of Cape Cod Bay. America needs a permanent, geological repository for this waste. By federal law, that site is Yucca Mountain. A secure, federal facility on a former nuclear weapons test site in the desert, over 100 miles from population centers and bodies of water.
Why time and energy are being spent on something that isn't going to happen while we're in the current economic mess, is typical of our Congress in action. Dog and Pony Shows. There is no funding for this in the current budget. Why waste money going all over the country trying to convince people to move their waste when, it can't be done. Typical.
