WASHINGTON -- Anti-nuclear lobbying group Public Citizen has reorganized a portion of its energy divsion. The group's top Yucca expert, Lisa Gue, is leaving Monday.
Michele Boyd, formerly of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, will take over the lobbying aspects of Gue's former position. Brendan Hoffman, who comes from within the organization, will handle grassroots efforts related to nuclear issues.
"The battle will not be lost due to a change in staff," said Wenonah Hauter, director of Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy and Environment Program. She added than Boyd and Hoffman have participated in day-long briefing sessions to get up to speed on the issue.
Gue, who worked for the group for three and a half years, is heading to graduate school in Ottawa to study public policy.
Judy Treichel, director of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Task Force, called Gue's departure "a dreadful loss" but said Public Citizen will continue to work hard on the Yucca issue.
