Louisiana has pitched the federal government on a plan to store nuclear waste beneath the Gulf, part of a broader effort to attract nuclear development and power massive new data-center projects in the state.


What could possibly go wrong folks?

Maybe the book of revelation is true, after all?

Salt domes?

I don’t like that at all.

I prefer that stuff to be buried in the red clay hills of Georgia.

It is damn near impermeable.

Yea, I could see a leak completely devastating our seafood industry and entire communities drinking water. Other than that, probably not much else could go wrong

Louisiana desperately wants to be America's trashcan and will gladly pay rich people for the opportunity to destroy our natural resources.

I seriously thought we sorted it in a desert somewhere and sold it to France for some kind of molten salt reactor.


I don’t know anymore.

You are correct. The USA has a huge underground storage facility just west of Hobbs NM. They put that stuff pretty far down.

Well, water is an excellent shielding material for radioactive material. Adding salt to that water makes it better. Depending how deep undergroind they go, there is not much, if any concern of it getting out. The Gulf coast isn't like the California coast where fault lines open underground pockets to the water column.

If we want dependable, clean energy, we have to put the waste somewhere. Deep under the sea floor is probably the best option.

Am I also correct in thinking that nuclear waste never expires and never goes bad. And that we could reuse it for energy again. I believe Europe uses a lot of molten salt reactors that use nuclear waste.

I’ve done a threat on this before aided my GPT

It had mentioned that the United States just doesn’t have the desire to recycle this nuclear waste. Would you like for me to find that thread for you?

Little Huey is working hard on these shitty deals.

Carbon capture, this and I’m hearing that permits are being applied for to store hazardous waste at some old oil fields.
