January 29, 2009 Nevada Senator Harry Reid today announced that he is working on cutting an additional $100 million from the budget of the Yucca Mountain project. This cut will bring Yucca’s budget to $288.4 million for the year, a figure drastically lower than the nearly $500 million former President George W. Bush requested. The current reductions combined with an anticipated low budget request for next year signal the end is near for Yucca Mountain. “I am glad that I was able to make this cut and bring the Yucca Mountain Project another step closer to its rightful end,” Reid said. “I look forward to working with President Obama to end this project so we can focus more resources on making Nevada the leader in a clean energy revolution.” To read more on Senator Reid’s efforts to keep Nevada from becoming the nation’s nuclear waste dumping ground please visit the Yucca Mountain page on his website by clicking here. |
