Las Vegas Journal Review, by Steve Tetreault

An aide for the Obama transition office said Tuesday night that
ultimately the incoming president will be calling the shots on Yucca
Mountain. "The president-elect will rely on Dr. Chu for advice, but
like all members of his Cabinet, he will be charged with implementing
the president-elect's policies," spokesman Nick Shapiro said. "And
President-elect Obama has been clear throughout the campaign that
Yucca Mountain should not and will not move forward."
