Does anyone find it disgustingly hilarious that any committee in the world would name itself "blue ribbon".    The pimps immediately have to start the promotion process by pretending that they had won a Blue Ribbon.

Sure maybe Yucca is not the perfect solution.   there is no perfect solution to nuke.    But the solution of letting those used rods sit in pools for hundreds of years (hoping for continuous water flow, power, never a crack or leak, never a plane strike, never a bomb strike, never a careless employee), well that is nothing short of sadistic INSANITY!

MacFarlane, an associate professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., wrote a book in 2006 that raised technical questions about a proposed nuclear waste dump at Nevada's Yucca Mountain.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who is the leading congressional opponent of the Yucca site, praised Macfarlane as someone who will make nuclear safety a top priority.

Macfarlane's education and experience, especially her service on the blue ribbon commission on nuclear waste, make her qualified to lead the NRC "for the foreseeable future," Reid said in a statement.
