twitterLetter: Negotiating on Yucca is crazy
Thursday, May 13, 2004 | 8:48 a.m.
I read that some people of this state want to negotiate regarding the shipment of nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain.
Are these people crazy?
First, the proposed repository is not scientifically sound. Secondly, since when has the government ever negotiated in matters such as this? The best one can expect will be new or separate rail tracks or a direct highway to Yucca Mountain. Ask other states regarding their dealings on such matters, they'll tell you. New Mexico is one.
Lastly, there is always the danger of a terrorist threat in shipping something as deadly as this, and to die from radiation or cancer, believe me, it's too high a price to pay.
