We lack a strong enough government to logicly use and dispose of nuclear waste. Once Obama declares himself our rightfull King we will seeHey, hey, hey...they'll be none of that!!! We have our own waste to get rid of.
In all seriousness, the Canadian shield is one billion years old, I'm sure the idea of drilling down a long way and sealing the waste up would work. Though if I lived in a nearby community? No chance would I allow it in my backyard.
