twitterLetter: GOP plays word games on Yucca
Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2004 | 9:45 a.m.
During the Republican National Convention, party officials agreed upon their party platform, the basis from which their party positions derive. Once again they have tried to fool Nevadans with word games.
In 2000 "sound science" were the words of choice to hide their true intentions on moving forward with Yucca Mountain. Now, rather than mentioning Yucca Mountain or Nevada by name, their platform states, "President Bush supports construction of new nuclear power plants through the Nuclear Power 2010 initiative, and continues to move forward on creating an environmentally sound nuclear waste repository."
Don't fall victim to word games like "environmentally sound nuclear waste repository." They mean the unsafe Yucca Mountain site, which will put our families at risk if opened.
