#NuclearWaste -- vulnerable to wildfires, earthquakes, etc. Let's stop making more of it!

"The #JonesRoadWildfire, which started last Tuesday in the #PineBarrens of #NewJersey, is on track to become the worst in state history. Fueled by gusty winds, low humidity, and dry undergrowth — conditions increasingly common in the region — the blaze has scorched more than 23 square miles, forced thousands to evacuate, and threatened nuclear waste at a power plant. As of Monday, firefighters had contained just 45 percent of the inferno."

The New Jersey fire signals a new era for the Northeast

The worst fire in New Jersey's history is a warning that "there's no reason that what has happened in the western U.S. can't happen here.”
