twitterAnti-Yucca forces distorting facts
Friday, March 30, 2001 | 10:16 a.m.
The federal government's attempts to provide the facts on Yucca Mountain are called lobbying by the anti-Yucca Mountain people. Yet they apparently are hiring paid lobbyists with taxpayer dollars to fight the project and claim that they are not lobbying.
The distortion of facts by the anti-Yucca Mountain people makes federal government-sponsored Yucca Mountain information a necessity, if the truth is to get out. These "nonlobbyists," who are opposed to Yucca Mountain, use our public funds and forums to disperse their ill-informed, nonprofessional views. I would rather hear from professionals who know the facts than a bunch of neophytes without credentials in nuclear geology.
