Letter: Beware Edwards’ flip-flop on nuke waste dump

Wednesday, July 14, 2004 | 8:50 a.m.

I love reading all about Nevada's win in the courts over Yucca Mountain, and how bad a decision President Bush made in recommending it to Congress, or how he lied on the matter. This is what readers learn from Sun columnist Jeff German.

Then there is the love fest going on over John Kerry's choice of John Edwards as his running mate, and how, in the hands of Kerry and Edwards, Yucca Mountain will be defeated. This is what readers learn from Sun columnist Brian Greenspun.

I can't wait to see the obvious lack of protesters when Edwards shows up in Nevada to campaign, and then, in a very John Kerry flip-flop liberal way, tells us how he will vote against Yucca Mountain after he voted for Yucca Mountain as a senator.

Just remember, in the event of a tie in the U.S. Senate, the future of Yucca Mountain could be in the hands of the man who voted for it first.
