What do you think that is supposed to mean?
Perhaps its supposed to imply that the waste can be dumped in the uranium mines

I think he was talking about the proposed windfarm off of cape cod, MA. all the rich people on Nantucket are fighting it because they think it will be ugly.

If it doesn't matter why aren't people allowed to make their own?

They are.. unless they use a method that is also used to create nuclear bombs. There are other ways to enrich uranium to be used for nuclear power. The system that Iran is using can be very easily switched over to make high enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.

Hamburgers do not equal nuclear weapons. A better comparison would be, you are allowed to have iron and steel at your house for cars and such. You are not allowed to use it to make an anti-aircraft gun on your lawn.

So what? That doesn't mean they'll use it for those purposes.

That's just being naive. Espcecially when we offered them a more economical way to get the nuclear fuel that they need and they refused.

I have no issue with them wanting to do it themselves. National pride is a good thing. The whole "we don't trust Iran" argument is stupid because we trust Pakistan and Israel and India...they aren't bastians of anti-terror either. We don't trust Iran because we don't like them...they don't trust us either but nobody cares about their point of view, right?
