The NWPA also set up the Nuclear Waste Fund, which by law has collected more than 16 billion dollars from people who use electricity from nuclear power plants (including Nevadans, who get between 6 and 10 percent of their electricity from nuclear), to be used for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel.

I repeat, Yucca Mountain is NOT taxpayer funded (except for the disposal of Navy spent fuel).

Additionally, the Yucca Mountain Development Act of 2002 directs the DOE to prepare and submit a license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Both laws were passed with overwhelming Congressional support.

We have moved on. I'm now voting for Obama. He is just much more likeable and will attract many Repub and independant votes.

We began to get annoyed with his show after 5 minutes realizing that all we heard was praise for Barak Obama. What we heard to that point was nothing compared to what we were getting ready to hear. Olbermann was interviewing someone from the Huffington Post. The interview focused on Barak's praise of former President Ronald Reagan. The Huffington Post reporter/Barak surrogate was defending Obama for praising Ronald Reagan and a possible California connection when Olbermann reminded the Huffington Post reporter/Barak surrogate that Ronald Reagan had busted the unions and that the Culinary Union members may not like that. The Huffington Post reporter/Barak surrogate then proceeded to tell the MSNBC viewers that the Culinary Union members "are not very sharp". A minute later he once again reminded the MSNBC viewers that the Culinary Union members "are not very sharp". Forty per cent of the Culinary Union members are Latinos, many of whom work many hours to achieve the American Dream and some probably have children serving in the military. This type of language used by Barak's surrogates just reinforces Barak's disconnect and attitude toward working class union people. I personally found this "not very sharp" comment insulting. The Culinary Union members should be made aware of these comments. Perhaps Bob Johnson was right when he said Barack must think we're stupid! I second that motion.

What is the "federal law that requires repository development at Yucca Mountain?"

Ed, what are the biggest three examples in your mind of Mrs. Clinton's "lies and double talk?"

Has she done anything as bad the Bush administration revealing the identity of an undercover Central Intelligence Agency operative meted out as political punishment?

Or has she done anything as bad as when the Bush administration granted an ongoing White House press pass for a gay male who sells himself for a living?

Or an arms-for-hostages deal like the Reagan administration?

It was all a lot of "I feel your pain" but there was never any statement regarding what she is going to do about anything.
She has proved to be proficient at two things, lies and double talk.
Do not be fooled. She and Slick Willie do not care about anything but getting elected. If that should happen somehow, be very afraid and hold on to your wallets, America.

Unlike her rivals who seem to have changed their views recently. We need more people out there like Hillary who really care and look out for all of Americans not only now but also into the future. So that our children will have a better place to live and dream. I have no doubt that Hillary has the intelligence, drive, and experience to find the safest possible way to dispose of nuclear waste. Thanks Hillary for voting AGAINST Yucca mountain!
