Was pure politics. Hell, they truck nuclear weapons, what is so bad
about trucking nuclear waste? And most of the waste is low level stuff.

One of the problems with Yucca Mountain, it's 30 year old technology.
The proposed Generation IV reactors produce much less waste, and with
reprocessing may make the whole concept of a nuclear waste repository,
such as Yucca Mountain, unnecessary. It's my understanding that Yucca
Mountain hasn't been permanently discared, but they are having a blue-
ribbon panel look at it with modern day eyes. There may very well be,
cheaper, safer, ways to accomplish it's mission.

It is my understanding that along with cutting Yukka, the licensing for
new and renewed Nuclear power plants is going to be so high, it won't
happen... They are going to force us to buy Chinese **** like the swirly
light bbulbs.
