twitterFLASHPOINT for Jul 18, 2007
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 | 7:02 a.m.
I'm sure Gov. Jim Gibbons thought it would be an easy, pos- itive headline for him. After all, hasn't that been what the Yucca Mountain issue has provided pandering Nevada pols for two decades? So he put out a news release Tuesday saying he would support the state engineer's decision to ask the DOE to stop using Nevada water to drill at the dump site. No-brainer, right? Enter Harry Reid. The Senate majority leader read the fine print of the engineer's letter and declared he was "incredibly disappointed." Why? Because the DOE can still move forward, with a "green light" no less. Huh? Depends on what the definition of "desist" is, I guess. Where have we seen this before - partisan politics on Yucca Mountain? Dog bites man. Again.
