Letter: Bush’s budget encourages nukes

Once again President Bush has shown that he cares more about his contributors in the nuclear power industry than he does about the people of Nevada.

His budget includes more than $800 million for the Yucca Mountain project, which is an increase of $300 million over last year.

This seems like an effort by the president to help the nuclear power industry build more reactor sites, which produce more waste to be dumped on Nevada.
