Another WW-I Chemical Site In Washington, DC
WrongSizeGlass writes "The AP is reporting that the US Army Corps of Engineers has uncovered what appears to be the fourth major disposal area for World War I-era munitions and chemical weapons in the nation's capital. Digging was suspended at a construction site after 'workers pulled smoking glassware from the pit — preliminary tests show the glassware was contaminated with the toxic chemical arsenic trichloride. ... Workers also discovered a jar about three-quarters full of a dark liquid that turned out to be the chemical agent mustard.' Someone needs to remind our government of the meaning of NIMBY."
Trial lawyers all but own the Democratic party, and they're the reason healthcare has becomes so expensive the last couple decades. People like Edwards are the cream of that disgusting crop. So if you think the very people causing the problem are going to create an honest solution for it...you're nuts.

Look, if you want affordable power, we're going to have to make sacrifices. The waste has to go somewhere, and we've decided that the only fair option is for it to go everywhere. So we're gonna divide it equally among the population. We don't care what you do with it, as long as it's buried in your backyard. What's a few rads between neighbors? Hey, stop yer complaining... you won the argument and now you get what you asked for.... hey, don't blame me, I wanted to use the more expensive and cleaner energy sources, develop that technology now so it would become more affordable for our children, so they wouldn't have to deal with what we're sweeping under the rug (er, burying in your back yard). Enjoy the cheap, "clean" nuke energy!
Yours Sincerely,
The Government

Hey you. Yes you, there, in the hole. Mind your head - I'm going to drop a replacement shovel to you. I reckon the old one must be worn out.
