=v= Attached is some late-breaking news and recommended strategy
for activists, from somebody on Greenpeace's Environet. I've made
it all lowercase for readability (it was all uppercase).
=v= For more information on the Johnston-Wallop Bill and a good
alternative, see my earlier posting in sci.environment (message-ID

energy bill - nation of morons" (sorry, I didn't pick that subject

Subj: NATL ENERGY STRATEGY
senate energy & natl. resources mark-up on wed. june 12 at 9:30 on s1138, the
stand-alone johnston-wallop bill on nuclear waste management from the natl.
energy strategy act (formerly sec. 511 and 512.) this is the bill that
pre-emps nevada state laws, including environmental regulation, for site
characterization at yucca mountain. it also de-links the mrs from the
repository schedule. doe project manager for yucca mtn., carl gertz, says the
equivalent preemption will be needed for mrs if doe was to site one without the
negotiator. help nevada and help yourself by contacting (immediately) members
of sen. energy and say "hold s.1138 in committee", i.e. stall it in its own
backyard. call senators: bumpers, ark (d); ford, ken (d); bradley, nj (d);
bingaman, nm (d); domenici, nm (r); wirth, col. (d); conrad, nd (d);
fowler, geor (d); shelby, ala (d); wellstone, minn (d); hatfield, ore (r);
burns, mont (r); craig, ida (r); seymour, calif (r); garn, utah (r);
nickles, okl (r); merkowski, alaska (r). for any more information call:
