that can't afford bottled water.

And, of course, intent on driving up the price of bottled water.

will be affected - just like the climate denier loons, they simply think they can do as they wish.

This is why we have a nuclear dump 30 miles from my house sitting on top of our water aquifer - they literally paid Texas Tech to draw a curvy line around the dump to show that water is everywhere except just right there.

So it's a race between deadly acids in fracking and nuclear waste as to which will ruin our water first. But the "right" people are making money off it.

Just curious.

Burying all this toxic crap everywhere is not good, but as you said - somebody's getting rich!

Thank you. I thought that's what you were talking about, but I wanted to make sure.

Edited to add that if you scroll down about three fourths of the way on the link right above, and click on the picture icons you will see the long area of 0% porosity rock in western Andrews County. Nuclear waste is placed into melted hard glass (and cooled) before it is deposited. A lot of this rock is very hard chert. There are numerous joints, in broken columns, of chert under the Llano Estacado-Caprock. There seems to be a big piece of it that is not broken running along the Texas-New Mexico border there.

then water. Ask any rancher in the area.

And none of that is 0% porosity.

Look at the WCS website and especially the pictures. The pit they are using is lined with black plastic, and most of the stuff in there is in steel drums and cardboard boxes.

And the Hanford material coming has already leaked once - that's why they're cleaning it up.

I know that Texas Tech received a large grant which led to the reclassification that miraculously allowed a dump in the exact area they wanted it and no other.

And if it was so safe then Harold Simmons would not have insisted that the state of Texas be liable for any contamination that takes place. He got that guarantee from the Legislature.

Your links are fine, I'm sure. But people on the ground here are not so sure.

And I see Big Spring, 60 miles east of here, is thinking of doing the same thing. Now won't it be a miracle when a big chunk of 0% porosity rock just happens to underlie that area, too?
