Is it possible that there is NO good site for storage of toxic waste? What about inventing a solution to change the toxic waste into nontoxic waste? What else is possible?

These people must own stock in the bottled water companies, because when this dump leaks into our Great Lakes, we will all be forced to buy bottled water!

The initial survey that Kincardine Municipality supposedly carried out was seriously flawed and biased. The phone calls were made to Inverhuron summer residents and landowners in January so the very people most affected did not get a chance to record their answer. As well, the sample did not exclude people who worked at OPG or their relatives, the sample was too small and contained questions weighted in favour of a “yes, we are ok with this answer.”
The biggest flaw was the small, local scope of the sample as Canadians and Americans who could be impacted by this proposal have no idea what is going on. OPG and Kincardine et al are trying to pass burying radioactive waste beside Lake Huron behind most of our backs. Why? Because it is cost effective for them and convenient!!!! Will it still be a good idea when it leaks?

One red flag reason Central Huron may not be suitable for a high-level nuclear waste site [dump] is that citizens of Central Huron may not want it. If it turns out to be the best site for Canada’s high-level nuclear waste, they STILL may not want the dump as their legacy for the many generations following.
