Dairy Farmer gives another GREAT reason to stop Yucca Mountain

The LVRJ is doing a series called "On the Road" where they are taking US 95 from South to North and interviewing people in the towns along the way. FIRST we at PRO Nevada are grateful to the RJ for getting out of it's Vegas towers to get into rural Nevada. Their articles so far have stayed away from the quirky and gotten into the true rural Nevadans. SECOND I do believe they are showing their prejudices by who they pick and print but we understand a newspaper trying to stay a bit balanced even though rural Nevadans are pretty predominantly Republican and have counterweighted the predominantly Democratic cities of Vegas and Reno.
Tuesday's "On the Road" stopped at the Dairy farm within a few miles of Yucca Mountain. They interviewed the managers there and talked about Yucca. Read article here.


Can you imagine 45% of Nevada's milk coming from a location near Yucca Mountain? I really don't care if you can find 50 "experts" who will tell me that there is no way nuclear waste can get into the cows system and into our milk. Just the thought of it makes you think twice about purchasing milk. We might have to start getting our milk from China or something. It is kind of like having a drinking fountain right next to a urinal in the men's restroom. It just isn't right!
