Let’s get those new construction contracts signed!

    Why is it on Nevada to deal with your shit (and the costs of cleanup when you fuck up like WIPP or the German repository)?

    If it’s a solved issue, then execute the solution where you make the mess.

      If it’s any consolation, Nevada and a lot of the landlocked states are probably gonna get teabagged by climate change anyways, haha. Arizona is running out of water. My city in Montana nearly ran out of water a handful years ago, the largest one in the state. Like, out out. The river was only six feet deep and very narrow.

      We nearly ran out of water again this past year when all the snow melted at once due to an early heatwave and cause the river to jump over 16 feet, which destroyed the water treatment facility and destroyed entire towns and national parks along with it. I moved to a different state after that. Somewhere less volatile.
