Democratic Candidates United Against Yucca Mountain
October 31, 2007 - Today, while a Congressional hearing highlights the problems with the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump, it becomes increasingly clear to Nevadans that while Democratic presidential candidates would end an unsafe Yucca Mountain dump, Republican presidential candidates refuse to promise to protect Nevadans from harmful nuclear waste.
All of the Republican candidates have either embraced or are silent on the issue.
“It’s becoming increasingly clear: Democrats in Congress are close to killing the Yucca Mountain project, and a Democratic president would finish the job. The Republican Party and its presidential candidates will not protect Nevada from becoming the nation’s nuclear waste dump,” said Kirsten Searer, Deputy Executive Director for the Nevada Democratic Party.
