"No Way Day"

Paul Hollingshead over at Utah Policy sent me (and other bloggers in Utah, I'm sure) an email asking to blog about tomorrow's "No Way Day" that is being put on in coordination with the Governer Hunstman, Orrin Hatch and Jim Matheson.

Basically, the BLM has the final say, it seems, on the issue of storing spent nuclear fuel in an above-ground facility 50 miles from Salt Lake City. This seems like lunacy to me that it's even an issue. Lawmakers should be preventing stuff like this from happening from the get-go, but that's a different issue.

Anyhow, the BLM is accepting public comment on the issue until May 8th. Storing spent nuclear fuel above-ground, that close to people is an act of madness.

Here's all the contact information for the BLM so you can write them. I did.
