Thank God NY and Connecticut are stepping up! Here is the current location
for our nations proposed nuclear dump:
http://www.nrc.gov/waste/hlw-disposal/photo-loc.html
There have only been 213 earthquakes in general area and 13 in the immediate area in the last *week*. Let me do the math, that's about
650 quakes a year and about 6.5 million quakes over the projected
life of the dump. I'm sure it'll be just as safe as those levees
along the Mississippi:

Makes much better scientific/geological sense to put the dump in the Westchester, Greenwich area:

The nation appreciates your selflessness. I'm sure Gary appreciates
it. Yucca is just a few hundred miles directly upwind from him.
