Lately, when I watch the news about congress debating a new Nuclear Waste Policy Act I feel like I should be watching “Really?” with Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers. So, really, taxpayers have spent more than $15 billion over 25 years and we want to start over? Really?

The site has been studied, selected, validated, approved, and is in the process of applying for a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Congress wants to start over from the very beginning? Really? There is absolutely nothing useful that was produced in the last 25 years with all of that money and we’re going to throw it all away and start over? Really? Square one, really?

I can’t figure out if this is a ploy by Harry Reid to kill the Yucca Mountain Project or by the anti-nuclear special interests to remove the end of the fuel cycle so we can’t build new plants, despite 70% of Americans being for building new Nuclear Plants. Who is writing this legislation anyway? Really.
