Nevada is ideal for nuclear power

Wednesday, March 28, 2001 | 9:08 a.m.

Remember that nasty old nuclear testing ground here in Nevada where hundreds of atomic blasts occurred? Lots of ground water survived the testing. There are lots of caverns to cool and re-circulate water, and they are near the proposed Yucca Mountain waste site.

It is the perfect place for hundreds of modern nuclear power plants. Think of all the pollutants not dumped into the air.
