John Edwards 2008: What’s not to like

– Sen. John Kerry “John Kerry is a longtime opponent of Yucca Mountain Storage. He has a 16 year history of opposition to the plan to place hazardous waste in Yucca Mountain,” said spokesman Dag Vega. Kerry voted against Yucca Mountain in the Senate in 2000 and 2002.

– Sen. John Edwards Edwards voted for the Yucca Mountain plan in 2000 and 2002, a spokesman said, because North Carolina has nuclear power plants that want to get rid of the waste

– Gen. Wesley Clark “I am against the nuke dump at Yucca Mountain, period. I will use the full force of the presidency to kill this dangerous project, which would put the lives and health of Nevadans at risk for generations,” Clark said.

– Gov. Howard Dean Dean supported building Yucca Mountain in the late 1990s because Vermont had a nuclear power plant that had stored nuclear waste. Dean said last year that he has since changed his stance and that Yucca Mountain needed more study before moving ahead. Dean’s office did not return phone calls for comment.
