    Yucca mountain sounds like a great idea although I don't have all the details. It sounds like it is getting scrapped because Obama made a campaign promise to win Nevada and that is about all. Not the feasibility of the plan and not the necessity. But just to get votes. Humans are too stupid to be fooling with nuclear power.
