Bring it on

Letter writer Mike Ballou, makes an argument: you don't see every day in The Tribune: Why not let EnergySolutions dump N-waste in Utah's hinterlands:
The Utah West Desert is a barren, mostly uninhabited, arid wasteland, for crying out loud! Sure, the desert has its beauty, but it is also a perfect place to safely store nuclear and other toxic waste - if the waste is properly handled and regulated. . .
If EnergySolutions . . . is mishandling [waste] or is in violation of the law, I say prosecute them to the full extent of the law. Otherwise, go bark up another dog's tree . . . .
I'd like to piggyback onto Mike's point. If EnergySolutions is permitted to put radioactive leftovers in a tiny part of the West Desert (which I think is anything but a wasteland) it might remain "mostly uninhabited."
