To the editor:
The thought that uranium mining will enhance the economic welfare
of the region is an ill-conceived notion. It will not, except for a fortunate
few shareholders.
In all likelihood it will cause irreparable harm.
With active uranium mining:
» What business would locate its
employees, management and facilities in possible harm’s way?
» What parent would place their
children at Hargrave or Chatham Hall with uranium being mined
nearby?
» What family would choose to
purchase property near a risky mining operation?
In all probability, all the answers are none. Who would locate any
loved one, any factory, any business, any home near possible radioactive
contamination?
This is risk taking. Parents, CEOs and decision makers want to
avoid risk, not seek it. Uranium mining will not enhance local economic
well-being — sorry to say.
