I wonder if they could start reprocessing some of the waste that has already been stored at Yucca mountain.

  If this op/ed - it's not an article - is correct, then theoretically, sure. Practically, good luck getting people comfortable with the idea of taking it out. The interesting issue is that if we make it easier to reprocess spent fuel, then DPK and Iran and others might be able to get rid of their "civilian power" smokescreen and focus on just that part. Then, we're back where we started.

    I'm not sure developing and deploying the technology domestically makes it easier for other countries to use it. Also, we're rapidly approaching an age when WMD will be accessible to very small groups. Our strategy should be to treat this like a reality today, and act accordingly. Terrorism is certainly no reason to fuck up our entire domestic energy policy.

      >Terrorism is certainly no reason to fuck up our entire domestic energy policy. Nor is terrorism a reason to fuck up the Constitution, but the prior Administration had no qualms doing that.
