I must express my disappointment that this budget continues to reflect the administration's decision to shut down the Yucca Mountain project.
I think that is the law of the land. It hasn't been changed.
You just can't declare something at the executive branch that it is no longer the law.
I am glad to see somebody else brought up Yucca Mountain first.
If you will remember back to the beginning of WIPP, Congress had to force WIPP on Carlsbad.
If you are going to push it forward, then push it forward.
I am, frankly, disappointed that we are seeing reductions in small modular reactors.
Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.
I am very concerned about the proposed budget cuts to the advanced reactor program and for a number of reasons.
It seems to me like there is an agenda of trying to push the green technology.
Yes, they will play an important part.
