Bush regime imports other countries' radioactive waste

Lovely. Two stories back to back about large quantities of toxic chemicals being needlessly stored near a large American city.

It turns out that regulators with the Bush regime allowed Canada and Mexico to send radioactive waste to the U.S. to be buried near Salt Lake City.

Utah officials never received the memo. The regional radioactive waste oversight committee Utah is part of never got the memo either.

Federal regulators admit they don't notify states if they consider the amount of waste to be "not significant." But how do you define "not significant"? "We don't have an exact number for that," admits one official. In fact, one license approved a shipment of 6,000 tons of waste.

Utah votes more reliably Republican than any other state. Yet the Bush regime still tries to turn the state into the world's toxic waste dump. That's because many of the Republicans elected by Utah are so willing to tolerate it. Some of the Republicans actually want this shit in their state! I guess they like to eat it or something.

Now the company that manages the Utah toxic waste site wants to import radioactive waste from Italy as well. This despite the fact that the regional committee does not allow foreign waste at the site - whether from Canada, Mexico, Italy, or anywhere else.

So poisonous waste is going to be flying from Italy to Utah over the airspace of many countries, including the United States.
