    Are there any current plants using the breeder reactor technology?

    One way or the other, even current plants do not produce an enormous volume of fuel rod waste. It is presently all stored on site. We sank about ten bil into a storage facility in Nevada. We got it just about finished, and then Obama decided to shut it down. Something about wanting to have his cake and eat it, too.

    Hope you don't mind if your spin is replaced by FACTS, since repubs and the dufus did nothing about the Nevada sight either.

    A reading of the "facts" would suggest that Yucca Mountain is not a prime site

    water table, location
    I would think the location is great. It's a zillion miles away from any towns. As to water table, that was all taken into account in the incredibly thorough planning that went on from the outset. We have hundreds of landfills and have learned to manage them without groundwater problems. The same would be true with YM.

    Except Nevada doesn't want the above ground waste site. Nobody does.

    Looks dead on arrival. Maybe Mississippi should volunteer its land for such a facility.

    In Texas people are going to their cars to get warm because there are rolling blackouts in neighborhoods serviced by windmills . Evidently the windmills fail in icy cold weather .
    https://www.statesman.com/story/news...on/4483230001/

    Wind’s share has tripled to about 25% since 2010 and accounted for 42% of power in Texas last week before the freeze set in.
    Do we track the number of people killed by green energy decisions?

    some technologies just don't thrive in extremes, now there is no record of a snow storm stopping nuclear energy production or shutting down a thermal power station

    Thermal power will never be a major player here. Nuclear, on the other hand, is a proven technology. I think you make a good point on that.

    Greetings fringers from the frozen great state of Texas where the infrastructure energy grid has been neglected by the conservatives for years. That includes the coal, gas, and thermal sources.

    Thanks conservative repubs who run Texas for not doing your jobs and trying to blame dems.
