Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Dump

Those of you who do not live in Nevada may not even be aware that Bush & co. are trying to push through a nuclear dump about 100 miles from Las Vegas! Boy, that's a way to insure tourists to come to town, isn't it?!
It's bad enough that nuclear waste would be trucked throughout the country and through major cities on the way here, which, of course, is a clear invitation to terrorists if there ever was one. On top of that, they expect and accept that there will be "accidents" and find that acceptable! I guess the people in downtown LA wouldn't think so, if it happened there!
But even worse is that scientists are saying that this site is not safe, yet it is being pushed through regardless.
The Sierra Club is sending out a petition saying that if its good enough for Nevada, then its good enough for a ranch in Crawford, Texas!

Please sign this petition and send it around!
