This doesn't actually address the topic, but what we see here in New
Mexico is that the locals are all for the waste repository and the
revenue it will bring to the local economy. All of the opposition
comes from Santa Fe, several hundred miles away, where the
demographics are more, shall we say, liberal.

... I would like to go on somewhat, however, to examine what I think is the
most serious issue and that is one of public perception. The problem is
that people do not consider the level of risk in their decisions about
issues involving radioactive materials. The introduction of a waste
depository in my village sounds bad and I will fight it no matter what the
risk if I really don't want it. Or, more importantly, if I really don't
believe it is necessary. Reducing radon concentrations in my lovely home is
unnecessary. I like living here and can't afford expensive corrective
actions. ...
