Cautious optimism is the buzz for opposition to storing nuclear waste in Utah.
Two investors in Private Fuel Storage have withdrawn their support in the venture to store nuclear waste on the Goshute Reservation in Utah.
Xcel Energy was one of those supporters, with 34% responsibility for PFS’s budget.
Environmentalists are optimistic that this could mean the demise of PFS, while acknowledging at the same time that this is not necessarily an end to the venture.
PFS officials claim that there are other investors waiting to be part of the project.
Elected officials are optimistic that PFS will not realize its vision of a waste repository in Utah’s west desert.
