taerowynIn a much improved mood and very much looking forward to the weekend. I think missing out on a restful weekend to paint did not help. This weekend I'm going to catch up on my reading and laze about in the sun and just do as little as possible. It will be ever so nice.

However, on a much less happy note, does Yucca Mountain scare the shit out of you, cause I know it does me? Pretty good point made here:
It seems to me the only arguement supporter's have is "look, it's a crappy solution, but it's the best one we have...let's do it." Somehow "nuclear waste" and "crappy solution" just doens' make me all that happy.

Enter Yucca Mountain-the mythological solution. If it clears all political, legal and engineering hurdles, the mountain could open for business in 2010. By then we will have more waste, about 63,400 metric tons, on our hands....And what do you know-that's already more than the 63,000 metric tons of civilian nuclear waste Yucca is designed to hold. That's right: The morning Yucca opened, we would already need a whole second Yucca Mountain.
