twitterFLASHPOINT for May 19, 2007
Saturday, May 19, 2007 | 6:52 a.m.
It's not often that pro-nuclear dump forces come to Nevada to tout their case. But that will happen Tuesday at the South Point when a workshop will be held on transporting waste to Yucca Mountain. Most of the speakers on the agenda appear to be folks who think bringing the waste here poses no problem. The state will have its own transportation consultant to talk about the awful things that can happen to those casks carrying the waste. But the anti-dump forces will be in the minority at this forum, which doesn't happen too often here . Maybe if some of these people see all the transportation problems here, they will think twice about it. Hmm. Maybe the Legislature shouldn't try to fix the traffic, after all.
