Routes to Waste Site
Re “Kerry Would Block Nevada Waste Site,” Aug. 11: I am always confused by the negative attitudes toward the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste site. Has anyone considered -- assessing the amount of money already spent -- building dedicated access roads or rail spurs to the site without going through complaining communities? With no other visible choices it seems that intelligently disposing of nuclear waste would go a long way in solving part of our energy crisis at a relatively small sum to build these alternate routes.
