The next step, however, is to move beyond discussion.
America's spent nuclear fuel challenge will not be solved by rhetoric, grants, or endless study alone. It will be solved when states voluntarily participate, when private industry sees opportunity rather than liability, and when policymakers create incentives that reward actual progress.
The choice is simple. America can continue talking about the problem or build a system that finally solves it. The most promising path forward is one in which government enables, private enterprise leads, and the nation transforms a long-standing burden into a lasting economic opportunity to provide affordable and abundant electricity to its citizens and to the world.
