Shot heard around the Nation!!!
You would have to wonder what took so long for some of the elected officials in 121 communities and 39 states to stand up in opposition to the “leave where it is ” policy of the administration on nuclear waste disposal. In fact, it took three courageous individuals in Tri-Cities to blow the whistle on the shenanigans goings on in the administration to deep six the Yucca Mountain repository project. Once these patriots declared their intentions to file suit to stop the mad rush to terminate, local counties, state attorney generals and governors started speaking up and taking action.
Today, there are at least four lawsuits filed to save the project. No one knows for sure how the whole sordid mess will turn out, but one thing is for sure the Yucca story has gotten legs.
