What?? Just ship nuclear waste to France. Name a Republican who'd be against that! Seriously though, I was going to look up what the Navy exactly does with the waste they generate on a sub or carrier. The US doing the dirty work? What??

What is the reasoning in the US for not burning the byproduct? I did not know that!

What is the reasoning in the US for not burning the byproduct?

Congress and the environmentalists refuses to allow such sane waste reduction practices in the US.

While nuclear power does not produce fossil fuels, it does produce large amounts of nuclear waste, waste that ends up getting buried in the Nevada desert. Solar power is something we should have had 30 years ago. The only problem with it right now is that it isn't feasible for the average family to do, the cost is still too high, even with a government tax credit. I don’t agree with this idea.
