Editor’s Hot Take: Aaron Nielson, Solicitor General, Austin, Texas, on behalf of Respondents Texas, et al.: “The only way we’re going to get a national solution to this problem is by Congress to get everybody there and figure it out. They tried to do that with Yucca Mountain and it didn’t work. But the answer isn’t: Well, I guess we’re going to put it in Texas now. No, Congress needs to go back and fix the law. If the law is broken, it’s on Congress to fix it. It’s not this Court’s job, and it’s not the agency’s job.” See SCOTUS Transcript, pp101-102, Case Transcript: 23-1300, March 5, 2025.
