Yellowcake shipments halted from Pumpkin Buttes mine
Published: July 12, 2012
Thirty years
ago, a ban was placed on uranium mining.
Nothing in
those 30 years has changed — it is still a threat to our water and children and
environment.
Why would we
want to lift that ban? The dangers are still there. I don’t believe any changes
in mining uranium can mitigate the untold damage that it will cause.
An offer of
putting some profits back into the community is a bribe, and surely the people
living in the vicinity of the mine must be insulted at such an offer. Any money
received by them will not lessen the irreversible harm that will be done to
their water and to their children and families.
The people
with money simply don’t care about the citizens; they only care about making
huge profits. It’s shameful, and those responsible should examine their
consciences.
