Bonnie Raitt gave 'em something to talk about in St. Paul, Minn., when she joined a rally protesting a plan to store more nuclear waste in the state.

"Don't kid yourselves," Raitt said Wednesday. "Nobody else is going to take this waste. Minnesota is going to be stuck with it."Northern States Power Co. wants to store highly radioactive nuclear waste in steel casks outside its Prairie Island plant along the Mississippi River.

NSP says the storage would last only until a permanent repository is established. But some are skeptical that a new site for the waste will ever be found.
