Several news organizations are reporting tonight that House and Senate negotiators hammering out details on a bill to fund energy and water projects cut Yucca Mountain's budget down to $450 million -- $200 million less than Bush wanted and more than $100 million less than YMP got last year. The bill diverts $50 million of that to promoting the recycling of nuclear fuel (which according to some is no less an environmental nightmare).
