Comments:  VA leaders are living in the 20th Century, wake up Dudes, stop listening to the French and other nukes in Lynchburg, they just want to take taxpayer's monies to push very old technology, the rest of the world is moving to true clean energy and doing away nukes, it costs too much, to dangerous, so please call the senators in VA and ask them to stop/oppose SB 1138, we think this is the backdoor to uranium mining being push by terriost France who just sent troops to Niger to protect their investment:  Uranium Mining!
