Senate K-Os Nevada's opposition to Yucca

摘要

In July, Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn took one on the chin in his battle to prevent the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository from popping up on the Clark County horizon. However, Guinn has vowed to continue the fight against burying nuclear waste inside the desert mountain. "While disappointed the Senate did not uphold my veto of the Yucca Mountain project, it is clear we have made considerable headway in convincing others that Yucca Mountain is a bad idea," Governor Guinn stated. "The U.S. Senate vote is the beginning of Nevada's legal and regulatory fight to stop the Yucca Mountain project." "We are highly confident that Nevada will prevail," he added.
