Carefully Cleaning Up the Garbage at Los Alamos
Summary:A team of workers is using $212 million in federal stimulus money to clean up the 65-year-old, six-acre dump, which was used by the scientists who built the world’s first atomic bomb. Nearly 73,000 people have applied for stimulus jobs cleaning up nuclear sites since the program was announced, the Department of Energy says, and more than 10,800 positions have been saved or created with the money.
Response: The government is trying to help the economy while helping the environment. This is a very smart idea because we are killing two birds with one stone.
