Yucca wasn't choosen for it being idealic.  Yucca was choosen because the 
ideal places had more political cloat.

Yucca has mines and good old mine shafts all over the place.  The right one 
goes and you've got water where you don't want it.

That is just one of several problems with Yucca.  The only "problem" that 
Yucca doesn't have is lots of $$ to stop the insanity.

Now, if I had my druthers, they wouldn't be able to use the blooming stuff 
if they can't figure out something to do with it besides leave it leaking 
all over the blooming place OR loosing it!
