A prominent researcher shared a nuclear secret today that he said not even everyone in the U.S. Department of Energy knows. Is the U.S., in fact, storing a large amount of nuclear waste produced by France's nuclear reactors?

That was the suggestion in a keynote today at the ThinkEquity ThinkGreen conference in San Francisco by Dr. Yogi Goswami, former President of the International Solar Energy Society, and prolific author and University of Florida professor.

"One small bit of information that most people don’t know, even in our Department of Energy: a large majority of the nuclear waste from France is actually shipped to the U.S.," Goswami said.

"It’s stored in South Carolina. That’s because when initially the French started building nuclear reactors, the U.S. was suspicious of the French, and said ‘hey, you don’t need to keep that nuclear waste over there, we’ll store it for you.’"

1. Isn't the U.S. receiving Russian nuclear waste?

to keep it from the wrong hands since Russia claims to not have enough money to deal with it properly?

2. Ha ha!

Classic!

You grab the nuclear waste from other countries because of your
"I'm in charge of the world" attitude and then use the fear of
nuclear waste as the big issue to prevent the generation of clean
energy in your own country!

:crazy:

Don't know whether to :rofl: at your stupidity or :cry: for the planet.
