Trump administration still angling toward Yucca Mountain, Energy exec says

As reported by South Carolina's Aiken Standard.

This is a remarkably fast policy reversal-reversal (sic), even for the Trump administration!

Trump tweeted that the Yucca dump was dead on Feb. 6th; by Feb. 12th, Trump's #2 official at the U.S. Department of Energy contradicted that, essentially saying the Yucca dump "ain't dead YET!," to borrow a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

From pro-Yucca dump, to anti-Yucca dump, to pro-Yucca dump -- what a difference six days can make, in Trumpland!
