Environmentalists Fight Use of WIPP, Again

You knew it was coming. Like night follows day radical environmentalists get in the way of any plan to ship tons of plutonium. This time the destination is located in New Mexico, at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Eddy County.
There is one thing these anti-nuclear "activists" have going for them. They have the "time" to go to public hearings and voice objections. Of course they never offer solutions to the storage problem only roadblocks to any solution.
It is a head scratcher for people in Eddy County near Carlsbad. There the government and private sector invested hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in the WIPP plant decades ago. Now there are just enough of these activists and policymakers listening to them to make sure the plant is mostly a waste of taxpayer investment.
