Do You Favor Storing Radioactive Nuclear Waste Materials In Your State?

[Better Believe It]

[mod mom]

1. Only if it's stored in the basement of the Ohio Republican Party...

just kidding. I do not want it stored inmy state nor transported through it.

[Better Believe It]

3. Or in Crawford, Texas? :)

[damntexdem]

24. Well, I DID say it was OK to store it in my state.

And Crawford might be a good place. Maybe for that coal plant, too. ;-)

[TheWraith]

6. The worry is unjustified.

You're at infinitely greater risk from the half million tons of highly toxic smoke, sludge, and ash produced by the average coal plant, all of which is dumped straight into the environment with no containment.

[L0oniX]

29. How about we store it in FOX network studios?

[YOY]

2. Really depends on how it's stored.

I know a guy in the DOE who is an expert on it. If it's in the way he described: underground sealed bunker type set ups nowhere near the water table in case of some catastrophic leak.

What else can you do with it?

[Swamp Rat]

4. No, but your backyard will suffice.

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Other: I don't care where they store it, as long as it's SAFE. nt.

[sandnsea]

7. Pretty sure there's already a bunch here

Not to mention the radioactive waste that comes from various hospitals and industrial facilities. 20% of our power comes from nuclear, so if we're serious about not using it or coal, we should shut off 60% of our electricity.

[FarCenter]

8. We do now

Spent fuel rods are generally stored in pools adjacent to nuclear plants, since a national waste repository was never opened.

[liberal_at_heart]

9. We're still trying to keep the pollution from the Hanford Nuclear plant

from leaking into the Columbia River in my state, so my answer is hell no.

[Turbineguy]

10. They can bury that shit in my yard!

I have a lot of republicans in my neighborhood.

:evilgrin:

[Cant trust em]

11. Have Superman sling it into outer space.

Let it be the Martian's problem.

[cbdo2007]

20. Not sure if this is a joke or not.....but not a bad idea....

Seriously, if we put it all in a rocket and shoot it into outer space toward some star thats 100 million light years away it will get there when? We'll all be long dead and gone by then and it will just float out there.

[rfranklin]

12. The more, the better...

Nuclear waste is our friend. It can keep us warm. It can light us up at night. It can rid us of excessive body hair. Its uses are manifold and many.

[NoPasaran]

13. Radiation ... You hear the most outrageous lies about it.

Half-baked, goggle-boxed do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have 'em too.

[jonathon]

14. This is unrecommended - I see - everyone, support more nuclear power plants

But, let's not talk about the consequences....

[FBaggins]

16. How about

Unrecced because it's a ridiculously invalid poll?

[Walk away]

15. If N.J. has to take it let's store it at Christie Todd Whitman's "Farm".

If any one in New Jersey deserves to be covered in waste (especially Nuclear) it's the governor that sold our natural resource to the highest bidder. Then the Bush family rewarded her by letting her do the same thing for the entire country.

Besides, Whitman's neighborhood is filled with a bunch of wealthy republicans who keep a few sheep so they don't have to pay the highest property taxes in the country.

[eShirl]

17. I don't even favor storing on my planet.

Shoot it into the sun.

[frebrd]

18. Absolutely not! What I do favor is........

not creating any more of it!

[slackmaster]

19. California is full, but there's plenty of room in New Jersey

:nuke:

[ThomWV]

21. If our state were the best repository then yes, I would accept it. But there are better places

In New Mexico and South Carolina.

[dmallind]

22. Oh what an unbiased poll! My word this means something doesn't it?

What's wrong with "sure - because we understand how radioactivity works and what materials and conditions can be safe to store radioactive materials, so we don't have to act like scared little kids in 1950s A-bomb-drills"

[Better Believe It]

25. I try my best to be unbiased and not take a firm position on anything that's important!

Like Pat Paulsen use to say. Not right-wing or left-wing, right down the middle of the bird!

And I only like plain vanilla ice cream.

:)

[leeroysphitz]

23. Of course not.That's what we have Nevada for. n/t

[Statistical]

26. How about some balanced and realistic choices.

Like I support storing nuclear waste in my state away from population centers.

OR

They already store nuclear waste in my state (surry nuclear generation station) and I have no problem with it.

[Better Believe It]

27. This is a scientific, fair and balanced poll.

With a very, very, very, very slight, minor almost insignificant tilt against nuclear power as you may have noticed.

:)

[Statistical]

28. Fair and balanced enough to be reported on Faux News.

[Better Believe It]

31. Only if it had a pro-nuclear power bent to it.

[Posteritatis]

30. Bullshit push poll is bullshit. (nt)

[Better Believe It]

32. Lighten up. No. I didn't say light up! However, that might help you to lighten up! :)
