If you’re a Nevada resident who cares, the RGJ has a poll up about Yucca Mountain. The poll question is:
Should Nevada end its opposition to the nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain?
As of my own vote (#2 – Yes, there are benefits) the results were:
Yes, it is coming whether Nevada likes it or not. 11% (29 votes)
Yes, there are good benefits that could be negotiated for Nevada. 50% (126 votes)
No, it will discourage tourism in Southern Nevada. 0% (0 votes)
No, transporting nuclear waste to Nevada is too dangerous. 10% (26 votes)
No, states that generate the waste should take care of it. 28% (72 votes)
Total Votes: 253
So…61% of those who responded to the poll say “Yes” to Yucca.

what a joke of a pole… 253 votes, wow you all did some serious work on this. I live here and I know a lot more than 253 people and 99% are opposed to the Yucca Mt. waste facility. You would have to be a brain dead redneck to believe it’s OK to dump nuclear waste into what used to be a super volcano in the countries 3rd most seismic active state… seriously folks we have wind, solar, hydro, and enough technology at our dispose to create power from enough safe resources that we really don’t need to use nuclear power and with it create a nuclear mess as far as disposing of it. We can avoid possible tragedies from happening like those that have happened in the past. It is over 50 yr old technology and we embrace it as if it was the way of the future. GET OVER IT AND GET AWAY FROM IT
