Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The Utah company EnergySolutions wants to import large amounts of low-level radioactive waste from Italy. If approved, the company would ship up to 20,000 tons of metal piping, sludge, wood, contaminated clothing and other mildly radioactive material from Italian nuclear-power plants to Tennessee, process most of it, then dispose of the remainder in Utah. It would be by far America's largest import of nuclear waste.

NIMBY!

Good to see that at least some business here in the US is thriving.

Maybe next we can start landfilling used hypodermic needles from around the world.

Oh wait it's only Tennesee.

Actually it is Utah. Same difference except in Utah they have dental care.

the U S has become the trash dump of the world. thank you herr bush

This stuff is going to have to travel over land to get there and while I realize it's necessary for our own waste, do we really want to increase the number of shipments?

Since when did we become a nuclear waste dump for Europe?

"Oh wait it's only Tennesee."

Last time I checked you got to travel through a few other states before you get to Tennessee much less Utah.
This company didn't count on an end to the Republican rule of America.

Is this another Bush idea?

Sounds like it. Its moronic.

We might as well, we can't decide what to do with ours yet. They ain't never gonna finish that storage facility in Nevada while I'm still alive. Damn mouse counters.

There's a ready market for nuclear waste, but Carter killed the industry and made the US Government the sole buyer

As with most things in life, if Carter touched it, then it went all to hell

"As with most things in life, if Carter touched it, then it went all to hell"

Yeah like his energy conservation plan which if continued would have allowed us to live without ME oil but thankfully Ronnie RAygun put us back on the path to waste energy and fight wars to gain more of it.

It must be his idea. Don't you know he never sleeps so he can think up all of this evil shit. He has his finger on everything except Hillary.

Who, on God's more or less green earth would that be?

"If approved, the company would ship up to 20,000 tons of metal piping, sludge, wood, contaminated clothing and other mildly radioactive material from Italian nuclear-power plants to Tennessee..."

Well, I guess that would be us.

"It must be his idea"

Think he'd be in favor of a "REGULATION" to prevent importation of radioactive wastes???? Or would that be too much government intrusion into business??

"Give us your tired, your poor.
Your glowing piles of radioactive waste.
I don't need a lamp now, we'll all just glow in the dark"

"we'll all just glow in the dark"

Posted by Dumb_as_Rocks


We all glow in the dark anyway.
Deal with it.

If the stuff is low level enough to go to the facility in Utah, it isn't very harmfull. You all hear "radioactive waste" and you flip out.

Get a giger counter and hold it up to a lump of coal or a mantel from a Colman Lantern and watch the needle jump.

I don't know if you all realize it or not but you get about 350 mr just from the sun every year. Blame Bush.

"Get a giger counter and hold it up to a lump of coal or a mantel from a Colman Lantern and watch the needle jump."

And that's what you think this is about, eh Sniper???? If that were the case then why would the Italians need to ship it to the US????
Use your head. This is an attempt to bring nasty shit into America so some greedy asshole can make a profit and the hell with everyone else in the country.

Sniper? Use his head? For anything besides a hammer?

I may be Freaky Deaky but I sure in the hell don't Glow in the Dark at night. That's for damned sure.

I guess you all have worked in the nuclear industry and know all about it.

Get your head out of the sand and learn something about it.

We shipped a bunch of dirt to that facility because it didn't meet playground standards. It wasn't even from a playground. Go figure. You would have to eat a pound a day for many years. I think the thorns in the dirt would get you before the zoomies. Ya gotta be safe.

Wow! Gas is going to $4/gallon and we can not even drill on the North Slope of Alaska? WTF?

We can not even drill in the Erie basin? Huh?

But can bury nuclear waste.

Congress stopped drilling?

Have fun paying for your $4/gallon gas on Memorial day America. I think it sucks now!

DRILL AMERICA FOR OIL! Take advantage of technology! Improve gas mileage!

Used to be we shipped our crap like this to third world nations.
Now we is one.

Heck of a job Bushie!

Add in the coast of Florida and you have to ask what the fuck Newt and the GOPper boys did for 13 years. Besides banging their secretaries.

Trying to corner the market in depleted uranium munitions?

One of the most keen and cutting ironies of the Iraq war is the fact that Bush used real nuclear weaponry (albeit low-grade) in an attempt to prevent the potential use of nuclear weaponry (which didn't exist).

Ah, life's rich pagent goes on and on.

If Cheney ever launches that nuclear tipped bunker buster at Iran's enrichment program (hidden deep underground in a couple of locations) then he will officially be calling for nuclear retaliation on US soil and if it occured then nobody on the fucking globe would shed a tear beyond the crocodile variety.

Forewarned.

Forearmed.

All that.

And so it goes.

Be Well.

Oh I get high with a little help from my friends

Gonna try with a little help from my friends

I'll get by with a little help from my friends

this shows how stupid, and de-evolved dethspud really is.

hey dumbfuck. the USA will never use Nuclear weapons ever again, as long as you and me live. Never.

If you didn't already know that, your truely a dumbfuck.

Wait, your a Canadian Liberal. no wonder. You evolved from rocks after the big bang.

No wonder, that explains it. Hey Dethspud is your mother as dumb as a rock too? or just your Dad?

Kuma

Why is it most NeoCon dittoheads can't spell?

"...your truely a dumbfuck"

your=YOU'RE

truely= TRULY

A dictionary would be a good idea before expecting anyone to take you seriously LOL

I'm always entertained when I am allowed a peek into Danni's dream world.

What!!!! Did we run out of material for our bombs?

What!!!! Did we run out of material for our bombs?

You can't make bombs out of low level nuclear waste. Low level waste is stuff like the gumby suits the employees wear, water pipes, tools that may have been near (but not touching) nuclear fuel, etc.

Environmental concerns prevent us from constructing new nuclear power plants to supply the energy needs of America, but we are willing to accept nuclear waste from Italy. That gives us all the negative aspects of atomic power and none of the benefits. What's wrong with this picture?

The main reason people don't like nuclear energy power plants is because of the governmental short cuts and lack of responsibility in funding for its safe disposal, the government has proven throughout history that they will not provide the necessary means to protect the masses from the poison no matter what the cost.

Like I sarcastically said earlier, they must have run out of the materials needed for their dirty bombs.

You forgot to end your sentence with a period.

Maybe if you would have a professor of literature proofread all of your posts prior to submitting them, people would take you more seriously.

No, you didn't say "dirty."

Don't pretend that you weren't talking about the depleted uranium munitions, before you were embarrassed to learn that you can't use an old water pipe from an Italian nuclear facility in their production.

Ya, he nuked them bastards. The whole place is nothing but sand, turned to glass.

I can't believe the shit you libs make up.

Hate to break to you, but Spud was correct that we used DU munitions, which are low grade nuclear weapons. Though, like the fuck-tard he is, he pretends it's a "Bush" thing as if they haven't been in use for a long time, during both HW's and Clinton's military adventures.

Sniper-Clinton killed 7000 soldiers using DU. Just check your inbox, I'm sure an email explaining it to you is alreday there.
