because I don't care for him as a candidate (for reasons that belong in other threads), but I do believe that what Vt and Me were trying to do was reasonable. The Northeast has many more drainage problems and much more rain than some other areas in the country, and waste storage was and is a problem there. The argument would be similar if the waste was moved from one location WITHIN a state to another location in that same state - why us?

A much bigger problem (aside from the fact that Sierra Blanca was an economically depressed area) is that the transporting of nuclear waste is a huge potential for disaster.
