U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democratic presidential candidate, expresses opposition to Yucca dump in NV

As reported by the Nevada Independent:

As her Las Vegas visit wrapped up Monday morning, Klobuchar also addressed a very Nevada issue — Yucca Mountain and the controversial secret shipment of plutonium that occurred last year.

Klobuchar said she supports “consent-based decisions” regarding the storage of nuclear waste and condemned the plutonium incident.

“That was outrageous,” she said. “What are we like back in, like, the early days of Siberia or something? That is the exact kind of thing that causes distrust in our government, and the administration should never have let that happen.”
