Protect Yucca Mountain
Published on May 16, 2019
The proposal by President Trump and Republicans in Congress to send our nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain would be a geological, environmental, and social disaster. We must abandon the idea that Yucca Mountain can solve our nuclear waste problems, stop building new nuclear power plants, and find a real solution to our existing nuclear waste problem.

SC town's water system is failing. Bernie Sanders says he can help
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders plans a town hall meeting Saturday in Bamberg County to discuss Denmark’s water troubles — and Sanders should have plenty to talk about when he arrives.

Excerpt:
Now, Sanders plans a town hall meeting that would include a panel discussion with community activists and others over the city’s drinking water woes. The topic of the forum is the Denmark “water crisis,” according to an email from the Sanders campaign. The Vermont senator favors increased funding for small water systems, a spokesman said.
“The water will lead to a discussion of the lack of infrastructure in rural communities, and the need for funding resources, so that local communities have the power to not be in a situation that Denmark finds itself in,’’ said Sanders campaign spokesman Kwadjo Campbell.
Among those on the panel are state Rep. Justin Bamberg, D-Bamberg, and Deanna Miller Berry, a community activist and leader in efforts to improve Denmark’s water. Filmmaker Josh Fox, whose movie “Gasland’’ took a critical look at the natural gas industry, has been invited, according to Sanders’ campaign. Bill McKibben, who founded a grassroots effort to address climate change, also has been invited, the campaign said.
The meeting is to be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Denmark Tech.
Miller Berry said Denmark’s problems are part of a national issue with small drinking water systems. Presidential candidates can help get the word out about Denmark’s drinking water problems, while also formulating plans by the federal government to resolve problems in small water systems across the country, she said. She said she’s supporting Sanders for president, but hopes many presidential candidates visit Denmark to discuss the low quality drinking water residents have endured for years.
A rally is planned May 25 in an effort to gain more attention about Denmark’s drinking water.
