At this time in Germany 30,000 police are brutally acting to protect a Nuclear Waste Train destined for Gorleben, an interim waste site near Hamburg. The German public does not want this coming through their area. People all around the world clearly do not want this nuclear waste and would prefer that it never had been produced. Take a guess. If you can, please also state that nuclear power generation should be ended immediately.
Profit is the answer.
They will make a profit if they do not have to pay for the storage of this waste for thousands of years of its life. If they can transfer ownership of this waste to the taxpayers, then they no longer own it, and more importantly, the liability associated with the waste will also be out of their hands. To expand on this Act of Congress, it could include but not be limited to land confiscation and exposing the public and environment to risk of injury by traversing the country at close proximity to many large, highly populated urban areas by carrying highly-radioactive waste in unproved containment casks to an area where we have no proof of long term storage safety. 50 million residents live within less than a mile of its route. A possible site is the Nuclear Test Site in NV, on land ceded to Native Americans , who have been given absolutely no say in the matter.
