National Group Swats Nuke Plants, Yucca Mountain

Friends of the Earth Action caught my eye with an ad on the Yahoo mail website on the idiotic effort to dump 80,000 tons (maybe lots more!) of high-level radioactive waste about 90 miles outside Las Vegas. The ad is very effective little animated doo-dad that spotlights the fact that more nuke plants would mean more waste, and more pressure to open Yucca Mountain. Quite a few folks, including some of Nevada's own congressional delegation, have failed to make the connection between more nuke plants and our own glow-in-the-dark prospects.
Anyhoo, here's the link: http://action.foe.org/content.jsp?content_KEY=3331&t=FoE_Action_HOME.dwt
