UPDATE: Hope you’ve been keeping an eye on this, but just needed to point out there have been major developments on this which make this post now completely false. We don’t believe in just dumping things down the memory hole here, but do believe in making sure we get things right. The updates are all posted here, so please keep your eyes on TexasVox for more updates on this. Original story:
We’re still waiting for the final tally to come in, but it looks like through your efforts over 4,000 comments (probably closer to 5,000 or 6,000 with all of the other comments) were delivered into the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission, despite it being over the holidays. We’ve been working furiously on this issue the past few weeks, and it’s paid off.
And now, a judge has ordered a halt to the upcoming meeting of the Compact Commission, putting the brakes on discussion of the importation rule.
Stay here for an update, but huge thanks to everyone who submitted a comment and worked so hard on this, especially our friends at CREDO Action who got so many of the comments in!! Special thanks to Sierra Club for their hard work on this as well.
Let’s keep this crazy train rolling into 2011 and make our new year nuke-waste free.
