Goldfield Yucca Mountain (nuclear waste) Repository Oversight Program? (#1126)

Goldfield Yucca Mountain (nuclear waste) Repository Oversight Program? (#1126)
In the center of Goldfield, the office of the Esmeralda county Yucca Mountain (nuclear waste) Repository Oversight Program. I was surprised to see this office since the plans to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain (66 miles southeast) had been abandoned during the Obama administration. It turns out the Trump administration has restarted consideration of Yucca Mountain for storing nuclear waste. However, as per Trump’s usual style of governing, Trump himself is sending confusing signals to the people of Nevada. The Wikipedia entry on this issue appears to be fairly comprehensive and up-to-date:

It's a sensitive issue locally, as you might imagine! I suspect this group isn't "official" but one of a number of citizens' organizations that have sprung up.
