Matthews countered that "all states are unique," and Gibbons’ had the [...] Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) will be the likely chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Bingaman may seem a strange choice for Harry Reid to make because he was the chair of the committee when the Senate overrode Kenny Guinn’s veto of Yucca Mountain and he urged the committee to support the override. Seems [...] Southern Utahns, or "downwinders" as we like to call them in Nevada, are smarter than the ones that live in Washington. The St. George Spectrum, basically came out and said Borin’ Orrin was an idiot for believing Bush would keep nuke crud out of Utah if Hatch would support Yucca Mountain. I remember when Hatch was [...] Congressman Jim Gibbons supported Bush’s energy bill which supports the construction of new nuclear power plants. Where do the nuke industry guys plan to put the waste? Can you say "Yucca Mountain," boys and girls? Radioactive waste from the new plants probably would be stored at a "We [...] Orrin Hatch and Harry Reid are grunting and snarling at each other just as you’d from expect aging alpha males.

It won’t be done in 2071. DOE can’t even post some documents on the internet.) Inside [...] Get this–Congressman Jim Gibbons is supporting President Bush’s latest Energy Bill. The president’s plan will require greater use of nuclear energy, and thus the creation of more nuclear waste. Two-faced Jim Gibbons strikes again! He’s supposedly against the Yucca Mountain Waste Depository yet he wants to dump more nuclear waste. Make up your mind, Congressman.
