The government has spent $10 billion developing the Yucca site, but Obama has stripped funding for it from his last two budget proposals to Congress.

The President can put whatever he wants in the Budget submitted to Congress. Congress has no obligation to act on it.

If the new Republican controlled House is so stupid that they think they have to follow Obama's budget, all is already lost.

Exactly.

As the links I posted elsewhere in the thread show, the Libs even are now bemoaning how the U.S. has no adequate, centralized repository for nuclear waste -— um, you know, like the one we were supposed to have under Yucca Mountain?

The Japanese experience should show how imperative it is for us to pursue Yucca.

And you’re exactly right: the Republicans can address this in the budget regardless of Obambi’s idiocy. Has someone brought this up to Bachman and King?
