Pat Wyant really comes to the heart of the matter when he
brings up industry. The real question is not whether nuclear
waste can be disposed of safely, but whether our nuclear
industry can be entrusted to dispose of it safely.

Taking our chances with nuclear wastes seems advisible to spewing
carcinogenes from our fossil plants for the next 50 years, but
let's not fool ourselves into thinking it's safe.  Let's start
planning what we are going to do when XYZ Inc. disposes of a ton
of nuclear waste in the same manner as PCB's - in a vacant lot
just off the N.J. Turnpike.
