WASHINGTON — Federal officials have cleared the way for construction of a dump in West Texas that could hold spent nuclear fuel for up to 40 years.
The decision puts the federal agency on a collision course with state officials in Texas, where opposition to nuclear waste storage has been building for years. The company is a joint venture of Waste Control Specialists LLC, which was started by the late Dallas billionaire investor Harold Simmons and later bought by private equity firm J.F. Lehman & Co., and Orano USA. Waste Control SpecialistsThe Andrews County site is about 350 miles west of Dallas, near the Texas-New Mexico state line.

Oh no. Not good. 40 years is nothing but a speck of time.
This is so on brand for Texas.
Well, Texas is a dumpy state.
Can't think of a better place for it
No better place for it.
Ah, the nuclear approach to a hazardous state, that should work out alright....
Should sterilize anyone who gets near it, so… that eliminates the need for abortions. Sounds like a win-win for Texas! 👍😬👏
I see that Ted Cruz finally got approved to build his new home.
Well Texas is a dump in general so I don't see a problem
LOL... I hope it's in Ted's district.
Best use for texas I have ever heard of.
Dump it in Portland. There are no real people there.

Salesforce Offers To Relocate Employees From Texas Over Anti-Abortion LawSoftware company Salesforce has announced that if any of its 2,000 Dallas employees are concerned about the ability to access reproductive care in the wake of Texas’ aggressive anti-abortion law, the company will help relocate their families. What do you think? Seriously, won’t anyone think of the poor woman who modelled for that stock photo. I hope she was paid many many thousands of dollars for the amount of nonsense the Onion has put her through 🥺 I was not aware Salesforce had a mashed potato sculpture division, now I’m intrigued. You get to let Texas taxpayers raise the kid, then carry it thru prison years (yes, they did learn in the pre-abortion days that kids that grew up without affection tended to become criminals). Maybe your kid even shortens the life of some ReTrumps.
