Bring it on
Tribune reader Mike Ballou makes a succinct argument on the letters page for Utah taking nuke waste:Fact one: Most of us have contributed to the N-waste some way in our lives, by being X-rayed or something.I'd like to add to Mike's list:
Fact two: There is N-waste stored all over the world, in places Utahns travel to, like Italy. It's there.
Fact three: We have a mostly empty, barren, dry, perfect place to put N-waste - in our west Utah desert.
Fact four (the best fact): We all benefit by safely storing the N-waste in regulated, government controlled and inspected facilities, just like the ones in Utah.
Fact five: Putting waste in the Utah wilderness will keep it wilderness. Not even Ellis Ivory would put a subdivision near a nuclear waste dump. Migration into the state will dry up and a little radiation might even cut down the natural population growth.Before it's over, Mike Noel—who's got an interest in building nuke plants—and Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance might find themselves on the same side.
