What Am I Missing About Yucca Mountain?

Harry Reid proudly says he killed thousands of jobs at Yucca Mountain as he tries to kill the project. One of his arguments is that if Yucca is opened up, people will stop coming to Las Vegas. Well if this is true, then:

1. In Nevada, we were one of the few places in the United States that exploded atomic and nuclear bombs. " In the U.S.: Nevada (several sites; but the Nevada Test Site is the only currently open U.S. test site); Alamogordo, New Mexico; Carlsbad, New Mexico; Hattiesberg, Mississippi; Grand Valley, Colorado; Rifle, Colorado; Farmington, New Mexico; Hot Creek Valley, Central Nevada; Fallon, Nevada and; Amchitka, Alaska."

And people still come to Nevada.

2. Nevada is still collecting low level nuclear waste. "There have been seven operating commercial facilities in the United States licensed to dispose of low-level radioactive wastes. They are located at (1) West Valley, New York; (2) Maxey Flats near Morehead, Kentucky; (3) Sheffield, Illinois; (4) Beatty, Nevada; (5) Hanford, Washington; (6) Clive, Utah; and (7) Barnwell, South Carolina. At the present time, only the latter three sites are receiving waste for disposal; they are regulated by the states. The West Valley, Maxey Flats, Sheffield and Beatty sites have permanently stopped receiving wastes. Burial of transuranic waste is limited at all of the sites. Transuranic waste includes material contaminated with radioactive elements (e.g., neptunium, americium, plutonium) that are artificially made and is produced primarily from reprocessing spent fuel and from use of plutonium in fabrication of nuclear weapons"

And people still come to Las Vegas and Nevada to party.

So, why are people so afraid of Yucca? Transporting material to Yucca? Fly the nuclear material into Yucca. We have B-52 bombers and other Air Force bombers that fly with nuclear weapons all over the Country and the world and we have not had a serious accident where anything nuclear was released.
Maybe people will think that people will stay away from casinos because of Yucca. Well, they are still coming to Nevada after above nuclear bomb testing, I don't people will stop coming because of Yucca.
Harry Reid and other Nevada's officials from both the Dem's and GOP are trying to kill the 1000's jobs that go with Yucca. Why, well Harry says it will be bad for business of the casinos. But people still come to Vegas despite above ground nuclear testing.
Others worry about polluting the ground water. Well, the NRC has been making sure that this will not happen.
Others worry about transportation through the Valley. Well, if we can fly nuclear bombs around the Country and the world, I am sure we can fly any nuclear material into Yucca.
So, we have Harry Reid, Jim Gibbons and other politicians running around saying No, No, No to nuclear power waste. Meanwhile, we have an unemployment rate around 17% and Nevada need jobs desperately. So, Harry, get off your soapbox and get Yucca Mountain moving again.
