Feb. 1, 2012 - Environment and Economy Subcommittee Hearing on Blue Ribbon Commission

"The Commission recommendations deserve our serious consideration. They raise a number of important policy questions, such as whether a new organization should be established to address the nuclear waste problem, how the Nuclear Waste Fund should be used, and whether one or more centralized storage facilities should be developed in addition to one or more geologic repositories. Answering these questions requires an open mind and a willingness to move past a narrow obsession with Yucca Mountain. It's time to move forward and today's hearing is a good first step." - Ranking Member Waxman
