The opposition to Yucca Mountain is getting VERY active. I live in NW Indiana and we had people going door to door the other night asking for donations for their cause. Two organizations are named in their pamphlet.
Public Citizen--www.citizen.org/cmep and Nuclear Information & Resource Service--www.nirs.org. I didn't talk to them, but wish I had the opportunity to ask them just exactly what their solution might be. Their pamphlet doesn't suggest any viable alternatives.
