McCain’s comment certainly seems like hypocrisy, unless we assume that he said no to radioactive material passing through Phoenix because that city is out of the way and the routing would make more sense to pass through Flagstaff. However, he’s a politician, so I don’t assume anything.

The truth is many politicians oppose the radioactive waste from not only being stored in their states, but they oppose it traveling within their states.
The speed at which the train that carries this is going to travel is so slow it is going to make for a terrorist “nocturnal dream”. From what I have read and seen on documentaries about the speed of the train, it cannot go over forty miles per hour to maintain stability on the tracks.
Not only that, but why are they putting it in the Yucca Mountain area when it is on a fault line? Our politicians at their best! The deep thinking they are known for shows up once again.
