Supremacy Clause Failed So USA is vulnerable

Yucca Mountain is a proposed deep geological repository in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Designated by Congress as the permanent storage site for the nation’s high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel, the project remains effectively stalled due to ongoing political and state-level opposition.

The Supremacy Clause should have over-ridden Nevada.

Now, instead of Yucca Mountain (the best approach) we have Auxiliary Buildings near nuclear reactors and the spent fuel is in pools in those buildings.

When Yucca Mountain was voted down by voters in Nevada, and the Federal government failed to over-ride with Supremacy Clause the next logical step would have been to drop weighted barrels of nuclear waste into the deepest part of the Marianas Trench in the Pacific. These barrels could be dropped quite precisely using Alvin or some other aluminaut submarine, so they would surely go to the deepest part of the very deep trench. This would have been expensive, and thus raised the cost of nuclear power. Instead we chose the cheap idea of Auxiliary buildings which now means that every reactor in USA is a hazard now that IRAN has ICBM missiles that can be guided very exactly.

The US Constitution still exists. The Supremacy clause is valid even in 2026, the year of the Tic Tocs, Smartfones, imbeciles, and cretins. So, in theory we could go back and properly open Yucca Mountain. Let the Nevada people move away if they like. Using the Marianas deep trench would be too costly and raise too many international issues at this point. The action would be tied up in Courts for decades. We could remove all voters from the state of Nevada if necessary to open Yucca Mountain.

Time creates changes. USA has not adapted. Congress is only a century behind on this. So by 3026 we could hope for some sort of action. “We” here = future US citizens, if there are any. Well yes I do know a bit about radiation. See Bio of Robert Fenton Gary on the world wide web. I also have 20 books on Amazon. One is about airborne attacks on Nuclear Power plants.
