Candidates - Stakeholders on Nuclear
USNEF has hand delivered educational information on the
Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository and advanced reactor research to many Candidates and stakeholders.
The world discussion of a low carbon energy portfolio must include nuclear power. Nuclear energy is the largest contributor of America’s low-carbon energy footprint. Nuclear plants provide 63% of the zero-carbon electricity generation. Sixteen states continue to have restrictions against the construction of new nuclear plants. This arithmetic is not political, it is fact. We must realize that carbon emission reduction goals CANNOT be met without developing new nuclear power. Our mission has to rebrand nuclear outreach advocacy.
We are simply bringing our message about the need for grassroots education to
Rebrand, Redirect, Recycle and Renew public outreach on nuclear technology.
Nevada - Candidate Jim Marchant, for Congress2019 This is GREAT to see a Congressional candidate running for office who SUPPORTS the Yucca Mountain Program! He has been a Businessman all his adult life. After college in 1978, he worked in his father?s convenience store business in Florida. He started out as a clerk. he learned the business and took on more and more responsibility as he progressed. In 1984, he decided to pursue the dream that many Americans have . . . to own his own business. He started a computer software company that served customers all across the country. It was through this experience that he learned first-hand the challenges of not only meeting a payroll, but complying with all of the government?s taxes, regulations and red tape. In 2016 he ran for and won the Nevada State Assembly seat representing District 37 in Las Vegas. He has just completed the first full legislative session establishing myself as a leader in Nevada politics. He served on the Commerce and Labor, Energy, Taxation and Government Affairs Committees. |

Nevada - Danny TarkanianA Nevada political participant is onboard with the Yucca Mountain Repository program. This is one of the most important changes in nuclear and the political front on Yucca. At least, unlike others, he has been willing to listen to some of the science & engineering information. Mr. Tarkanian agrees that the purpose of the Yucca Application Process Study was to determine the long term safety and sustainability of the design and engineering and not something that should have been opposed by unfounded political opposition. At a local CTL meeting he said “In 2010 every elected official did everything they could to stop Yucca Mountain . . . I ran in the primary against Harry Reid and I came out and said I was in favor of Yucca Mountain and wanted to turn it into a reprocessing facility . . . like they do in France . . . I was told again, you’re going to lose the Las Vegas vote . . . it’s not the right thing to do politically. . . to me, it isn’t the right thing to do politically, if you want to be in public service it’s to do the right thing for the community and the country". |

Yucca Mountain land should go to State to decide, see media statement below, inquiry made, to date no reply. |
Dr. Carson, "it's time to at least have a discussion" . . . if the science is correct. |
