LAS VEGAS, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Movie star Robert Redford has hit out at President Bush for endangering the environment, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported.
The paper said Redford blasted the president and his advisers in a speech last week at Las Vegas' Rainbow Library amphitheater for allowing oil, gas and coal-fired companies to drag their feet on complying with federal clean air and water legislation at the expense of the environment.
Redford, 67, has been a prominent environmental activist for 30 years. He also criticized Bush for pushing ahead with the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste project in Nevada despite legal concerns over the radiation protection standard.
"When you narrow it down to specifics like Yucca Mountain and Yucca flat you've got to be kidding," Redford said. "The consequence is toxic and it's toxicity that's not going to go away overnight."
