Good call Governor Huntsman! Thank you.

Hello!? This is dirt. EnergySolutions can't even take smoke detectors in our homes (yes, they have radioactive material in them but even they are too hot for EnergySolutions permit.) BAD MOVE HUNTSMAN.

(P.S. No, I do not work for EnergySolutions but I read up on this issue so I can be informed on my own. Huntsman should too.)

Regardless of what it is, why would you want anybody's garbage in your yard? Allowing this "dirt" would just open more doors. I am glad this is nipped in the bud.

This is a great move by Governor Huntsman.

Dump it where it is used, end of story. Who are you County man? Get real. If I was your neighbor just try bringing your garbage over to my place, I'll set you straight in a heart beat. Good move Guv, thats why I like you even though I detest your party.

Driven by surveys, not by science.

Your microwave gives off more radiation. It is a bad move, this is low level stuff. Charge a premium and store it in the desert, it's genius! What are you talking about "your yard". They're not putting it in "your yard" unless you live in the middle of no where.

If we were neighbors and I offered you $10,000 to throw a garbage bag of mine into your garbage can....are you telling me you wouldn't do it? It really would be a smart move for the state of Utah. Tax the heck out it and there is revenue for whatever ales....all at relatively no risk.

I hope the Gov can pull it off. He who makes the waste should store the waste! "Energy Polutions" the company the Delta Center is named after, should not be able to make such a profit when Utahns are put at risk and do not want it here!

I would guess that this is just hype and that the stuff isn't that dangerous. But I, Like "@ SLC County Man" feel that it's better stored away from Utah. I think Energy Solutions is a well marketed company that doesn't "solve" anything.

Thank you Governor Huntsman for making a decision that takes future generations into consideration.

The nuclear waste needs to be deposited where its created (or shot out into deep space), and not dumped on someone else's backyard.

Does this mean I don't support nuclear energy? No! I do support it, but feel these plants need to be built in stable non-earthquake and non-flood plain locations, that also includes provision for storing the waste on site where it was made.

The problem is that private business is only interested in the profits generated by nuclear electricity production but not interested in plowing some of those profits back into developing ways and means of recycling the waste or finding other beneficial uses. The coal industry was eventually forced to do so with coal emissions and on the whole they've done a damn good job of reducing toxic emissions. Now why can the nuclear industry do the same, especially since they have far greater profitability for doing so than the coal industry has ever had.

Again, thank ya guvanah.

We do not need others Rasdioactive junk in Utah

We all live in such a polluted environment within our society anyway, so what difference will it make? People will die much faster from all their prescription drugs, and all their junk foods eaten then they ever will from any nuclear waste.

Thank you, Gov. Huntsman, and Rep. Matheson, you have my gratitude. Utahns have suffered enough from so-called "safe" testing.

To those of you who want the nuclear waste here, thank you so much for assuming that the rest of us are too ignorant and uneducated to make an informed decision. You just don't like the fact that it opposes YOURS. So here's my opinion: you make me sick.

re:Thank you ;o(

You make me sick too! I never have liked a sarcastic person with a bad attitude.

In my opinion waste is waste. It doesn't seem like people know how to live with it, or without it. It will always be a problem of the world we live in. Unless, however, we all go ORGANIC, and perhaps that might help.
