FOX Vegas: Steven Horsford Demands Answers About Proposed Yucca Mountain Funding
March 13, 2019
The people of Nevada have made it clear that they do not want the Yucca Mountain project, and even the President himself acknowledged this during a visit to our state in October 2018. However, despite the wishes of Nevadans, the President's budget proposal includes an allocation of $160 million to restart the licensing process for the Yucca Mountain project. This goes against the will of the people and disregards the potential risks and concerns associated with storing nuclear waste in our state. As a representative of Nevada, I will continue to oppose any efforts to move forward with the Yucca Mountain project and fight for the best interests and safety of our community.
