Oh Really, Kitty Litter?
The Energy Secretary is vowing to reopen the nation's only permanent nuclear waste dump as soon as possible. Ernest Moniz admits the department still doesn't know what caused the nuclear leak in February. But, he says, "a plausible picture is emerging." He hopes to have a plan for reopening the mine in place by the end of September. But safety remains the priority. Moniz spoke to residents of Carlsbad, New Mexico, where the dump is located. One theory of what caused the leak focuses on organic kitty litter used to absorb moisture in the waste barrels. Investigators also blame inattention to safety at the dump.

I'm guessing our militarized EPA isn't going to send their army of stormtroopers to stop this, either.
Really? You question this? Hey, kitty litter has been known for centuries for its ability to soak up anything from oil to nuclear waste and turn it totally inert! Works fantastic for stopping bullets in wars, shielding explosions, getting stains out of your skivvies, and taking mud baths. Mu company recently sent some to the moon to help stop those pesky red and blue moons. YES!, it even stops those!
The possibilities are endless, and hats made from tin foil, that's my next venture! They work A-W-E-S-O-M-E-L-Y!
