Senate Passes Bill That Closes Yucca Mountain - Associated Press

Thank goodness.

Sanity prevails.

The entire "stockpile" of nuke waste could be stored on a football field. It would be 10 feet high. I say build that football field and guard it like Fort Knox. The last thing you want to do with stuff you know little about and which has a long half-life is BURY it where you cannot get to it in a few hundred years.

For once, the Senate did the right thing.
