Why don't they just transport those rods to another nuclear power plant on stable ground? Why do they have to send them into space?

They don't 'have to' do anything... I am expressing an opinion about how to get this toxic stuff off of the face of the earth. The way I see it, all of those spent fuel rods do is sit there and cool off... I don't know about you but at the rate we consume energy, it's scary to think that the amount of spent fuel rods will only increase.

These are the days that will define mankinds future, one of the largest hurdles we have ever faced. What baffles me is the fact that the haven't eaten their pride and have world specialists in to figure out a game plan. These at defining years, if anything more happens and they loose further containment cooling and structural stability we are through as a race we once were. I don't mean to bring in the 2012 talks in on this, but the 2012 prophesy will have been fulfilled or quite near it. Rouge Planets, solar, galactic threats would be the least of our worries. We would be the cause to our own end.

Glad it took over a #ING YEAR to do this.
If I were Japan, I'd be laughing at my ultimate revenge for WWII.

If we shoot them into space the Alien environmentalists are going to give us a littering ticket They will probably just enter an orbit and be raining down on us in the near future.

I have a great idea, how about you dont build nuclear power plants on unstable coastlines where EQ's and Tsunami's are highly probable threats....
