Today’s post is dedicated to the issue of the possibility of uranium mining in Virginia which has the potential to harm the environment statewide and North Carolina.
The problem is that Uranium mining is usually done in dry and arid areas and VA is the opposite.
Not only do they want to open a mine but to have a mill in place as well which doubles the possibility for disaster. The area of Coles Hill is flood prone which only means that the contamination of the water systems will spread.
Heavy rains, heavy storms are common, and tornadoes are not unheard off, so you have a perfect scenario for the potential of an environmental disaster of huge proportion.
There is potential for contamination of the soil, air, and water, spreading to North Carolina, and once it gets into the food supply (farm goods) it can spread further. There has been a ban for the last 30 years to prevent the mining of Uranium and it is due to expire now in 2012, soon.
By signing this petition, you will help keep this ban on mining and keep the residents of VA, North Carolina safe.
You will also prevent the possibility of an ecological disaster that will spread further. Please, sign this petition, follow this link. Thank you.
