Not until all the waste from winning the cold war is treated to the best of our ability and a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant is built to recycle all the spent nuclear fuel rods parked at every nuclear power plant in the country.

Many of those departments are outgrowths of/reactions to problems created by private enterprises out of control, which the "people" demanded to be fixed, but private enterprise wouldn't. Careful what you wish for...

Intent does not equate to effectiveness.
Get rid of these departments now, without remorse.

Perpetuating the existence of failed, outdated, or otherwise ineffective bloated departments is the very definition of insanity.

Why the environmentalists don't want molten salt reactors to recycle that fuel escapes me.

It can be done chemically, no reactors required.

Salt/liquid metal cooled reactors could be used power generation in the future. The spent fuel rods, (waste), already exist and have plenty of energy that could be made available by reprocessing/

John Stossel is a whining *****...

THE OLD 20/20 was funny to watch...

That old BROAD WHO RAN THAT SHOW

BARBARA WALTERS....

ABSOLUTELY hated John Stossel ....

and she berated and insulted him
Hundreds of times during the 15 ? +? Years that the show ran...he always took the insults pretty sheepishly but he'd give her mean looks and looks of amazement at what she would say to him ...then shake his head in disbelief... He had a family and needed that paycheck...
I hope he got a chance to really work her over verbally once she retired or the show ended...
