I have always been concerned about the nuclear waste storage problem. I had hoped that President Jimmy Carter, who was a nuclear engineer, would have solved the problem. But the problem isn't an engineering problem, it is a political problem. So, we really need a political solution. We also need some politicians willing to solve it.
I don't always agree with Darrel Issa, our 49th district Congressman. However his editorial in Sunday's San Diego Union Tribune was absolutely correct!

Yucca mountain is the correct location for the storage, and we should get working on it ASAP! 3000 Tons of the stuff in California, all stored in relatively unsafe locations really doesn't make sense.
I've also been a fan of nuclear power. I think we should be using more of it. It is important that the nuclear power plants be properly sited, well designed, carefully constructed, be operated safely, and the waste from those plants be safely and permanently disposed of. I think it is a shame that we aren't going to rebuild San Onofre and redesign or repair the potentially leaky tubes. The State and Country has too much invested in the site to abandon it. However, I don't believe any new nuclear power plants should be designed our built until the storage problem is resolved. Yucca Mountain is the answer!
