Care to elaborate on why YOU don't want Yucca Mountain to not be in NV?
Note that the US government owns most of Nevada, a majority of which is classified air and ground space. If I recall correctly the US government via Bureau of Land Management owns more than 50% of Nevada.
I own property there, along with my grandparents currently live there, and my parents also have a home there. It's a good distance from the major metropolitan. We'd like to think that these things should be in the remotest of remotest locations, but truth be told, someone has to work the facility, audit it from time to time, inspect it, investigate it, report on it. In other words it needs to be monitored closely in my opinion. The only way to do that is to keep it in some proximity of some major city. 100 Miles is a good distance that people wouldn't also just find themselves there by mistake. It's in a remote location yet not inaccessible.
As far as I am concerned. It works for me for it to be there.
