The government has just shut down a 10 billion dollar, 25 year long project with little to no good explanation, what's going on?

    100 miles is a long way away, many nuclear tests have been conducted closer to Vegas, Nuclear waste can't do anyone harm under tons of rock and sand. Seriously, the Nevada desert was chosen for testing for a reason.

    No one lives there.

    NOTHING lives there.

    I don't live near Vegas though ;D

  • its a hundred miles away from one of the biggest cities in the world.. las vegas nevada. where i live. i dont want it there and im sure millions of people living here agree.

  • Well, this is not a conspiracy. Not at all. Power companies were paying monthly payments to the government in the form of trust funds every month for this project. The question is not what were the ACTUAL plans for Yucca Mountain. The question is now that they cancelled it, what are they doing with it?!?! To answer your service road questions, they didn't want people driving out there because it was going to be home to 12,400 tons of nuclear waste. Construction companies had private roads.

  • The elevations are what get me thinking about these DUMBS. They all seem to be above 5000ft. Coincidence?

  • @TheGrayWolf96

    Then I guess there's no such thing as an "oasis". And to the conspiracy theorists: precisely WHAT nefarious purpose does the cancellation of Yucca serve? Protection from the End of Days (confidently predicted as imminent since the era of the Greeks)? Military HQ for the approaching UN invasion of the US? Storage area for crashed UFOs? A shelter for Glenn Beck's ego?

    There is no water table there. It's in the middle of the dessert.

  • just heard the news in the uk report. 1 google search later to your video. your right my friend. A DUMB or deep underground military base... for that thing that is comming.

  • It's the Ark!

  • Then you all put it in YOUR backyard. the Shishones don't want it in theirs. Oh I forgot they don't count cuz they're dead anyway, right???

  • We **DO NOT** have the technology to store it safely. The stuff you see transported about is almost always the low-to-mid grade material which is ground down, mixed with graphite and glass and poured into heavy steel containers. The really nasty stuff never leaves the powerplant where it sits in deep vats of water. No one has a clue about what to do with this waste. It's too dangerous to transport and will be lethal millions of years into the future.
