DOE hired a biased lobbyist and an unethical law firm. What stops them from having already purchased biased or unethical science? Nothing. I believe we need an independent scientific review of the science, an independent review by scientists who have never received funding from DOE for Yucca Mountain work. With this review, we would have a program that could stand the light of day. Until we do this, we have a tainted program, one that should be stopped. This involves 43 of our United States, with train and truck traffic going through every one of those States. This is very serious.

The Republican Party that we now have is not the Republican Party of John Chafee, Mark Hatfield, those people who were really stalwarts in moving the country forward.
