FOXNews.com - Recycling Nuclear Fuel: The French Do It, Why Can’t Oui? - Opinion
Maybe when gas hits $5/ gallon and the other fossil fuels start to rise we will consider this. We cannot get Yucca Mountain operational and why put it all there if we can recycle it. Why store it when you can reuse it. I just makes sense. If I have to live with a liberal president in Obama then I hope they do some progressive things like this in his administration. Rather then hiding further in the fantasy that we can reduce our energy needs and save the environment. I’m all for reducing the use of Coal and other fossil fuels, and we can see that France is using nuclear power in a positive way (Can you think of a more liberal country?) so lets just do it already!
