The Legislature passed a bill to permit more nuclear waste into Utah. The governor allowed the bill to become law. Both are unfortunate decisions by folks who have little understanding of the consequences.
We are told that radiation from the nuclear trash will not become dangerous for “a million years.” Most legislators and the governor believe the human race won’t be around that long, anyway. And, of course, neither today’s leaders nor those of us who are their constituents will be here to witness the damage when the storage casks start leaking.
Some of us remember when the government and respected scientists assured us that testing nuclear bombs in Nevada posed no danger to Utah citizens.
