Yucca presidential issue for Nevadans
Nevada voters remain overwhelmingly opposed to storing the nation’s nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain and are poised to rely on that issue as they make their choice for president, according to a new poll.
The Reno Gazette-Journal poll found fierce opposition to the project crosses party lines, but that Democrats think it is a more important issue in the presidential contest than do Republicans.
Of 600 likely Nevada voters surveyed, 76 percent said they oppose the project to store 77,000 tons of the nation’s radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, about 90 miles outside of Las Vegas. Nearly 60 percent of all voters said the issue will be important in determining their vote for president.
