“I do not like the permanent repository in Nevada. It is unpopular. Any place Senator Bryan or Senator Reid goes in the State of Nevada, the seventh-largest State in America, any place we go, whether it is in Elko in northern Nevada, in the far northeast, or Nelson, in the far south, wherever you go the first thing people talk about is nuclear waste. I am saying there is no need to have this problem. We do not like the permanent repository. But there is no need to compound the problem, not only for the people of Nevada but for the whole country. I say to my friend from North Dakota, these are not figures that I came up with. These are from the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy. These are 43 States at risk. This is where the nuclear waste is going to have to go.”
