@CoachDmontoya @bradbealmear @jeff4nm Nope, 49 other states do NOT have the ability. Very difficult to find a good site for this. And the accident at WIPP was more than 9 yrs ago, nothing's happened since, AND zero humans were harmed AT ALL in that accident.
@CoachDmontoya @bradbealmear @jeff4nm The reason we NEED to is Climate Change. There's no way to combat Climate Change without nuclear energy. It's the only carbon-free energy that can reliably power a large grid. NM is VERY federally dependent ... can we do something for the natl good that we're well suited for??
@CoachDmontoya @bradbealmear @jeff4nm No, you've got that wrong. For one, there's NEVER been any accident in this industry. Unbelievable safety record. The casks are incredibly impermeable, and the waste is rock-hard. And the federal govt would definitely handle any "clean-up" .. tho none has ever been necessary.
