To the Editor:
Thanks for the Associated Press article on Sept. 18: “3 Clash in U.S. Senate debate.”
In the question about energy, Charlie Summers included exploring the possibility of more nuclear power.
I wonder if he has been to see the high-level nuclear waste site in Wiscasset. Calling it “spent” is a misnomer. It contains the most dangerous waste mankind has ever made — and no one knows where to put it, safely. Some of the manmade isotopes are long-lasting — like thousands of years.
Please, people, understand this, and please, candidates, come to Wiscasset and think about it. Especially you, Charlie Summers.
