Lamar Alexander actually said...

"I want to imagine a day the United States is without nuclear power, a day that I don't want to see in our country's future."

"Solving the nuclear waste stalemate is a priority that Senator Feinstein and I agree on."

"My own view is that we ought to open Yucca Mountain, because the science and the law say we should do it."

"I want to do whatever I can to create an environment where a utility can make that decision, if it's possible to extend the license and do it safely."
