Just in case anyone had forgotten where President Bush stands on Yucca Mountain and just in case Congress gets shaky on the idea of stuffing nuclear waste into that hole, the president reminded everyone this week in little-noticed comments. Most of the stories about a Pennsylvania speech the president gave focused on his talk of alternative energy sources and his advocacy for nuclear power. But, The Wall Street Journal reported, Bush also had this to say: "You've got to be wise about nuclear waste. I'm a believer that Yucca Mountain is a scientifically sound place to send the waste, and I would hope the United States Congress would recognize that as well." Sound science. Still on message after all these years.
