Yep, looks like the feds are going to withdraw the license application (unknown when yet, but my guess is March), and the project is going to be shut down. No funding for fiscal year 2011. Goodbye so long. No idea how long they're projecting it'll take to shut things down or what the plan is, but I'm not going to waste time on the job search. This is pretty telling here: Feds withdraw applications for water for Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump All that time and money and now they are going to close it down? Un Fucking Real. 30+ years.. what a waste of fucking time. And it's not like we have anything ready to go to pick up the slack. I'm truly just baffled but the stupidity of our government.

And it's not like we have anything ready to go to pick up the slack. 20ish years bro, not 30. ;) In any case, not all money spent results in something. If you view the Yucca facility as pure scientific research then quite alot was accomplished. I think that's a load of crap, of course, but it's just another way of thinking about it. I'm truly just baffled but the stupidity of our government. You mean the noble people, the fair citizens of our republic? The enlightened masses who always act rationally based on good, solid information? Because they are the ones who continually put political pressure on the various congressmen and Presidents that have come and gone during that time to shut the thing down. "Wow... that's...

But it wasn't pure scientific research. They had a goal and a plan and to much PC/Bullshit slowed it down. Oh noez.. there might be an earthquake that might rattle some steel and concrete barrels barred pretty fucking deep in a mountain. I know you don't agree with the the closing, I see that.. I still bullshit, games and politics. I'm truly just baffled but the stupidity of our government. You mean the noble people, the fair citizens of our republic? The enlightened masses who always act rationally based on good, solid information? Because they are the ones who continually put political pressure on the various congressmen and Presidents that have come and gone during that time to shut the thing down. Yeah.. because they asked the people in nevada if they wanted it to close. Because they asked anyone that didn't have any finical gain in the process what they wanted. Right, that's how it happened. The people have no say in what happens. And I know you don't agree with that statement, and before we resurrect the same thread we had a few months back, you see it one way, and I see it another.

And it's not like we have anything ready to go to pick up the slack. Yep... 7 Billion dollars wasted. I'm leaning toward the theory that Reid helped get Obama elected and this is payoff for that. Yea let's not provide lots of high paying high tech jobs to Nevada or anything. We don't need that. It really pisses me off.

With the way government shit works, ESPECIALLY that place, does this mean in 2 decades you need to start looking for a new job? Have you tried to see if the losee road facility has any openings? I know it's a totally different company now but you might have an "in" there because of what you do now.

Well, just took a quick look, some positions they say would be acceptable in SF vs Glendale (even though it says Glendale). Since we also have the office in Henderson, you might want to see if they'd consider that. I don't think this is an internal site, but I guess we'll find out.

That's what keeps a relationship going through the years. Like heroin, I mean heroin's got a great fucking personality. |

So if you need a contact up there, you might want to hit him up. He's on my facebook friends, and he might be on my LinkedIn... not sure about that one. You haven't been tight since your brother fucked you in third grade. |

What kind of salary are you looking for? Hahaha.. nice. We have been looking for for a network guy for over a year. They finally hired someone and we'll see if that person actually shows up. Actually.. i think we might be looking for a VOIP expert for some stuff coming up. "> In practice this is an engineering problem You misspelled "fundamental limit of thermodynamics" -- Slashdot post |
