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.
