Letter: Answer to dump can only be an emphatic ‘no’

Monday, Jan. 22, 2001 | 10:21 a.m.

As a resident and a registered voter, I'd like to know what birdbrain came up with the idea that Yucca Mountain would make a great nuclear-waste storage place? He must have had rocks in his head.

"No, no, no" is the answer to the question of storing the waste of the entire country in Nevada. The people of this state don't want it stored here. If we have to start a war to stop it, then so be it. The nuclear waste has been stored all this time wherever it was made, so let the states that have it keep it. What makes them think Nevada is a nuclear garbage dump?

All the residents of the state of Nevada should let Washington know we will not accept the country's garbage.
