house 01/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We're introducing the Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act to ensure that before any funds are spent on a nuclear waste repository, the Secretary of Energy must first obtain the agreement of state and local governments, as well as affected Indian tribes. This measure aims to prioritize community consent and ensure a collaborative approach in managing nuclear waste.

A step towards cooperation—because sometimes nuclear waste is easier to handle than federal overreach.
