Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and former Nevada Sen. and Gov. Richard Bryan co-signed an op-ed earlier this month dismissing the remarkable scientific evidence in support of the Yucca Mountain Project (“Unsafe site won’t ever be safe for nuclear waste,” April 12 Review-Journal).
On March 29, the Review-Journal published an editorial on Yucca Mountain under the headline: “Washington, make an offer on Yucca Mountain.” The editorial deserves thoughtful consideration.
Nevada Rep. Cresent Hardy, who joined a pro-Yucca Mountain congressional site visit this past week, recently asked the question, “Is there a scenario in which Nevadans would actually welcome nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain?” (“Time for Nevada to talk Yucca Mountain,” March 22 Review-Journal).
If you had a half-gallon of expired milk in your refrigerator, would you drink it simply because you didn’t want the money you spent to go to waste?
