Washington D.C. (exclusive to eGrumps network). After twenty years of research and spending over $10,000,000,000 examining, testing and planning the suitability of a tunnel in Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a nuclear waste repository, the Obama budget cut off almost all funding for this project. President Obama has said that storing nuclear waste there is “not an option.” The Department of Energy had previously found that such a repository brings together natural barriers and design elements to protect the health and safety of the public. As a result of the defunding, there is now, in effect, a “Tunnel to Nowhere” which will not be used for its intended purpose. So that this time, money and effort will not go to waste, and in view of the fact that Pres. Obama wants to try to normalize relations with Cuba, his Administration intends to move the tunnel so that it is located between Florida and Cuba – lengthen it a little bit – and use it as an underground causeway between the two countries to benefit the good people of Cuba and the United States. “It’s a win/win situation for the American taxpayers,” his spokesman announced. “The American taxpayer will not lose its investment in the tunnel and both Cuba and America will benefit from the availabiltiy of this access (and egress) tunnel.”
The entire Obama cabinet hailed this solution as the type of practical approach to solving America’s problems that President Obama has brought to Washington. “It is thinking outside of the box that can reap such dividends for America, and President Obama has shown great ability in thinking outside the box” a spokesman said. “We intend to suggest to the Cuban government that this venture be called the Obama-Castro Tunnel,” he said. “The President feels sure this name will be acceptible to our Cuban allies.”
When asked about the technological feasibility of moving a tunnel, the spokesman replied “America has the greatest thinkers, scientists and builders in the world. While the technology of moving a tunnel hasn’t been fully developed, President Obama is sure that a solution can be found. Any country that can send a man to the moon, can certainly move a tunnel to connect Cuba to America. “I remain confident,” President Obama said, “that it can be done. even though a few small details have to be worked out. America can do this,” he said. ”Trust me! It is cost effective and it is the right thing to do”
President Obama has denied that the opposition of Senator Harry Reid, Democrat from Nevada, to the Yucca Mountain repository, had anything to do with defunding further Nevada tunnel construction. Opposing this project, he said, was unpatriotic, and no one has ever accused Sen Reid of being unpatriotic.
