Letter: Bush’s Yucca ad is misleading

Friday, Aug. 27, 2004 | 8:58 a.m.

The new Bush ad featuring Yucca Mountain is incredibly misleading. Some of the facts used in the ad are from the mid-1980s, at which point the project was still being researched.

Let us not forget that when the real deal came to a vote, John Kerry voted against Yucca Mountain and Bush gave it his signature -- even while the safety of using the mountain as a nuclear waste repository was, and still is, uncertain.

We must not forget the facts and let Nevada be swayed by lies and distortions.
