twitterBarbara Greenspun Remembers 1985: Sun nuke stance unwavering
Friday, March 9, 2001 | 9:04 a.m.
The Las Vegas Sun has been steadfast in its opposition to the storing of high-level nuclear waste in Nevada, as Hank's many columns and editorials on the subject prove.
Just as recently as last week a story in the Sun related the efforts of our neighboring state of Utah to prevent storage or transport of nuclear garbage there. Anti-nuclear waste bills have been introduced in the Utah Senate and have the blessing of Gov. Mike Leavitt. During the recent rainstorms, a huge semi loaded with gasoline jack-knifed and brought traffic to a standstill on our public highways. What if it had been loaded with hazardous nuclear waste material?
No matter how officials try to assure us that nothing can go wrong shipping the waste by truck and railroad, we are constantly aware of accidents happening daily on the nation's highways.
We must do everything in our power to stop the shipping and storing of these dangerous nuclear waste products in our beautiful state.
