Yucca Mountain Urgent Action Alert - Public Comment Period Deadline January 10, 2008

YUCCA MOUNTAIN, NEVADA, SACRED TO THE SHOSHONE & MAJOR FAULT ZONE
IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF BECOMING A NUCLEAR WASTE DUMPING SITE!

I OPPOSE THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY PLANS TO TURN YUCCA MOUNTAIN INTO A
NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY.

Yucca Mountain is sacred to the Shoshone as an herb gathering site, for rituals, and as a part of their stories. Yucca Mountain is known in Shoshone language as Snake Mountain because it looks like a snake. As the story is told, the snake was headed north when it froze where it is. It is said that it will move again and "flip around."

Geologists report that there are thirteen different fault lines running through it and it is therefore an unsafe site for nuclear waste dumping!

Thank you for your urgent consideration.

Sincerely,
Karen Kaplan
