Its usually the locals that will get vocal in the end......... NIMBY NIMBY. Years ago I lived in NC for nearly 11 years. The entire time I lived there the people and govt of the state of NC argued and complained about proposed nuclear power waste facilities. NC has several very large Nuke plants that supply alot of NC power. The people of the state wanted the cheap power but had no stomach for the whole package..... everything comes with compromise..... but EVERY proposed location was shot down by those opposed.
