Letter: Yucca efforts are appreciated

Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2002 | 8:59 a.m.

Congratulations, praise and admiration to the Sun's Feb. 10 editorial page, columns by Brian Greenspun, Jon Ralston, Jeff German, Gov. Kenny Guinn and maybe a few others in your continued attention to the shoving down our collective throats of the nuclear waste intended for Yucca Mountain.

This has been a political decision from the very beginning and if it wasn't for Nevada's relative political weakness at the time this crap probably wouldn't be coming here.

Congratulations to Guinn and Sen. Harry Reid for their courageous political stances that are looking out for the well-being of the people of Nevada.

And I am sure Sen. Larry Craig wouldn't be so convinced of the righteousness and correctness of this decision if it was coming to his state of Idaho.
