@Yucca_Mountain Tracking nuclear waste news. Yucca Mountain will be built! Politicizing America's energy future was wrong. Restart of Yucca Mountain coming soon.

Once again, I stopped the U.S. House of Representatives from funding the failed
#YuccaMountain project. A state that doesn't even produce nuclear waste shouldn't be forced to serve as the nation’s nuclear waste dump. More on my efforts here: https://bit.ly/2Q1uCjc -
Greenlighting
#YuccaMountain as a nuclear waste dump will endanger the health, safety & security of Nevadans. Yesterday,@RepJackyRosen & I called on@realDonaldTrump to zero out funding for this dangerous project & ensure his actions match his rhetoric.https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/nevada-democrats-urge-trump-to-keep-yucca-mountain-mothballed/ … -
My efforts also ensured that this measure didn't include any funding to revive the failed
#YuccaMountain project. A state without a single nuclear power plant should not have to shoulder the entire nation’s nuclear burden. https://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=F78BF374-12F0-4C31-BEB1-671AEB199C5D …Show this thread -
I hope this is a rare moment when Nevadans can take
@realDonaldTrump at his word, despite his budgets including funding to reopen#YuccaMountain & turn NV's backyard into a nuclear waste dump. The Trump Admin must abandon reopening Yucca once and for all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-signals-opposition-to-nuclear-waste-site-in-nevada-despite-his-budget-proposals-to-fund-it/2018/10/21/50eff246-d571-11e8-9559-712cbf726d1c_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.495ad0c77894 … -
#YuccaMountain leak contaminants into the groundwater; fault lines running through the mountain could shift and break up the repository; and thousands of trucks and train cars carrying dangerous waste could be rumbling throughout the country, past schools, homes and businesses. -
Illinois has a big nuclear waste problem and wants to make it Nevada's nuclear waste problem

In the U.S. House,
@RosenforNevada continues to fail Nevadans on#YuccaMountain. Don’t worry though, though, I stepped up once again to stop it. https://bit.ly/2JOtxHQ -
#YuccaMountain the land belongs to the Western Shoshone who have a sweat lodge and a fire area where they hold their ancient ceremonies. It is where their ancestors once harvested pine nuts and hunted rabbits. It is in a land they call Newe Sogobia where they raise children -
Thank you
@repdinatitus for sharing the mic this morning at@lvchamber’s “Eggs & Issues.”#YuccaMountain poses a threat to the health and safety of Nevadans and I appreciate working with you to stop#NV from becoming our nation’s nuclear waste dump.pic.twitter.com/VVUdDWtvcY

#YuccaMountain is a national solution to a problem nobody is really that interested in. But it makes it look like I'm doing something besides ranting on social media, and in an election cycle, THAT'S what's important! -

@repdinatitus calling the trash#YuccaMountain bill “Screw Nevada 2.0” is the highlight of my day. https://twitter.com/craigcaplan/status/994575688245174272 … -
#YuccaMountain is stupid. It's time to build a radioactive recycling facility in the US that actually eats the radiation until it no longer exists. If anyone with a brain cares about the future of humanity, it's time to turn to mycological technology. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/05/070522-fungi_2.html … -
After too many years covering
#YuccaMountain, I finally got to interview Jay "Mad Dog Silberg" who's sued@ENERGY for more than 40yrs ($7bn): "Apparently, within the Forrestal Building, there are people ... who would refer to me as 'Mad Dog Silberg."https://twitter.com/EENewsUpdates/status/964586430386327553 … -
One month to write the first version. 12 months and 14 versions later... my first paper on nuclear waste disposal is now re-submitted! Happy (and exhausted). Now, waiting for the second review...

Hey
@SenDeanHeller, maybe you could ask him why Kavanaugh ruled to relaunch construction of#YuccaMountain over the interests of Nevadans. FYI: Merrick Garland, the guy you didn’t bother meeting with 2 years ago, dissented in that very same case#StopKavanaugh#WhatsAtStakehttps://twitter.com/SenDeanHeller/status/1019949169459580928 … -
.
@NVDems Chair@WillMcCurdyII: "After all the different times@SenDeanHeller has allied himself with#YuccaMountain proponents and failed his constituents on this issue, it’s hard to see why Nevadans should continue trusting him to take the lead on stopping this project.”#NVSenhttps://twitter.com/nvdems/status/994638155104993282 … -
Hm, the
@NRCgov chair who helped to kill off#YuccaMountain now wants to complain about the lack of a permanent repository. Complaining about the mess you made? Sounds like Jazcko is angling for a job in this administration. https://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/aug/02/former-nrc-chief-says-edison-should-stop-burying-n/ …Show this thread -

@realDonaldTrump suggested he'd oppose reopening#YuccaMountain. To hold him & his admin to his word, I wrote to@SecretaryPerry &@MickMulvaneyOMB requesting no funds for Yucca be included in future budget requests. Yucca must remain a hole in the groundhttps://thenevadaindependent.com/article/after-trump-comments-opposing-yucca-cortez-masto-asks-administration-to-remove-project-from-budget … -
Even without
#YuccaMountain, the Trump Administration is turning Southern Nevada into a nuclear waste dumping ground

H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2018, passes the House! A big thanks to the 340 Representatives who voted in support of
#YuccaMountain and the environmental and national security interests it protects.#NWPAA
