Why does our State hired guns feel compelled to waste more money on something that has already been declared "dead" by our biggest hired gun, Harry Reid? I completely agree with Gibbons cutting the office to two people. What do they need any more people for anyway since their sole job was to "kill" the Yucca Mountain project. Delcare victory, redirect the funding and move on. The NWPO has already shown that it is incapable of honesty and forthright behavior. I say the smaller it is, the better.

We should be recycling spent nuclear fuel anyway. There are several options open for this to occur, and science is moving toward some very attractive alternate methods. Nuclear power is critical to national security and, despite the hype, Nevadans have been enjoying its benefits for many decades. It is time to come into the 21st century, embrace nuclear power and collect our just rewards for leading the United States in this direction.

Now that I think of it, the NWPO should be reduced to zero people, espeically in these times of budget reductions and what most people would consider higher priorities.

Get smart, Nevada. Listen to Gibbons on this issue. He got it right this time.

I see no reference to the ridiculous claim that 1 in 125 people will get cancer. This is simply scare tactics (see some of the above comments, all of which are along the same line). Here are some web sites you may want to check out:

It is really getting frustrating to be lied to. Your tactic is shameless and totally against the tenets of good journalism. Please stop defying the Nevada citizens and scare them out of their rights to receive benefits. Note that we take a far less risk from Yucca Mountain approval than simply getting in your car and driving down the road. Cancer is a serious disease and many people will contract and die of this disease and your lies simply take advantage of people who are not informed on this subject simply to inflame your ego. The public should get their facts from other sources than the Sun, but then I guess you know that already.
