Well, we could always inform the governor that the Nevada share of the Hoover Dam electricty and Colorado River water has been re-allocated to more cooperative states.

I can understand his concern, but when it comes right down to it nuclear power is something we need, and it needs to have someplace for its waste to be stored. Right now, Las Vegas gets its power from Hoover Dam, and so nuclear is not an issue for the governor of Nevada. But if Vegas continues to swell, they too will be wanting a nuclear power plant.

Yucca Mountain seems as good a place as any. How many posts until somebody suggests ANWAR? ;-)

Las Vegas gets 6% of its power from the dam. We have done our part for nuke testing. What really pisses most of us off is the take it and shove it attitude you and other have.You say crap like we get our power from the dam when we dont. Besides that dam is half in Nevada and we DONT get power from it. It was built for LA.

I dont mind it going to Yucca. I just dont want it traveling through Vegas to get there. I want a back door built. I dont want it on the same roads I travel on every day. There are wrecks every hour on our freeways. It is a mess.

If the canisters are so secure put the crap in a canister and plant it under the place it came from. Just dont bring it in to vegas where my and my sons future is.

I am pissed at all our politicians who are lieing scumbags. They just put on a face. They know it is coming. I say fight for a back door.Why are no politicians fighting for a back door? Because it is about money. They all suck. Put it at Yucca but let it travel through your home town to get there.
