Harry Reid Turns Down $200,000,000 For Nevada

Job killer Harry Reid is at again, killing hundreds if not about a thousand jobs for Southern Nevada.
From the LVRJ: A new bid to revive federal funding for the Yucca Mountain Project was defeated Thursday in Congress, as Democrats continued to hold the line against the out-of-favor nuclear waste plan.
At a Senate committee meeting, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., decried the Obama administration's planned termination of the Nevada waste storage site, arguing it would leave her state and others in a lurch with millions of gallons of liquid radioactive waste and tons of solid waste, and no place to send it....The Senate committee voted 16-13 to kill the amendment, the latest of several failed efforts to keep the repository plan on life support while the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and a federal court in Washington, D.C., consider legal questions surrounding the shutdown.
But so far, Democrats on Capitol Hill have stuck by Obama, and by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Senate majority leader who has tried for years to kill the project and is close to finishing the job.

In case Harry doesn't realize it, but Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the country, about 20% when you add everyone into account. $200,000,000 would provide Nevada would have given us hundreds of good paying jobs.
I am in favor of Yucca Mountain. The people who live in the counties where Yucca is located, support it. (Nye and I believe Esmeralda)
But you have a bunch of people who think the sky is falling are against it. They use the fear of intimidation against others to get their support.
From what I have read, I think the plant is safe. People say transportation will be a problem. You know what, we transport nuclear bombs around the country and the world via the Air Force every day and we have never had a problem.
While some naysayers have said that Yucca is not safe, but we also have experts who say Yucca is safe.
Reid has said previously that if Yucca is opened, people won't come to Las Vegas, which is about 100 miles away. Bull. We have had above ground nuclear tests in Nevada and people still come to Las Vegas. Millions of visitors a year come to Las Vegas and no one has left Las Vegas glowing green because of the nuclear bombs.
Thanks Harry Reid for killing more jobs in Nevada.
