It may be true that - as you say - The 'special interest groups that control the Dem party don't want the US to use it (Yucca mountain nuclear waste repository)... but it is also opposed by the entire local political establishment (Republican and Democrat). Whatever it's virtues - or lack thereof - (and I DO personally believe that as long as the US uses fission power plants a 'permanent' repository for waste must be found. Above ground storage is hideously dangerous) it is only to be expected that local citizens will always oppose efforts to locate the waste in their backyards. No state - whatever the political stripe of it's inhabitants - has qued up to ask for nuclear waste to be trucked to their locale... and none ever will. Not the most Republican state in the Union, not the most Democratic... thus this is more properly seen as a national vs. state's rights issue.
