twitterLetter: We must step up our opposition to Yucca
Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2006 | 12:30 p.m.
"Give them an inch and they'll take a mile."
The federal government, like some uneducated Nevadans, seems to think that since we hosted the Nevada Test Site from 1951 to 1992 and since that ground is polluted, we should readily accept a Yucca Mountain nuclear dump, with all its scientific deficiencies.
Will these same complacent citizens now accept 4,000 metric tons of mercury at Hawthorne?
I hope Gov. Kenny Guinn will not give in and that he will redouble his administration's opposition to an unscientific, unnecessary and fraudulently examined Yucca Mountain.
We need a renewed campaign against a federal government that considers debate and dissent as obstructionism.
