"Dunavant's preposterous description of the 200-foot high manmade mountain of earth running for miles upon miles is complete nonsense. "
I'd like to set straight a few of the erroneous and reckless comments on uranium from Halifax resident Jack Dunavant to the Gretna Town Council, as reported by Susan Worley in your newspaper.First, the hundreds of area residents who have attended educational briefings by Virginia Uranium know that Dunavant's preposterous description of the 200-foot high manmade mountain of earth running for miles upon miles is complete nonsense.
As for Dunavant's claim that our area is "already categorized by the government as a sacrifice area," it is a preposterous statement.In making these outlandish claims, as well as others, Dunavant should be asked to provide his sources and calculations based upon his "Professional Engineer" credentials at Dunavant Engineering and Construction.
According to your paper's report, Jack Dunavant bragged to Gretna Town Council that his group was "able to stymie the [uranium] study bill" in the House of Delegates.It is true that Dunavant's Halifax Delegate, Clarke Hogan, did manage to thwart the will of the entire Virginia legislature by killing the study bill in a committee, despite overwhelming support throughout the legislature
How can anyone be proud of killing legislation that offered to study something for the economic good of the entire state and energy independence for the nation?Indeed, those opposed to the study placed themselves solidly in favor of ignorance.We need to take advantage of our God-given natural resources and study the issue carefully with a progressive eye toward moving our people and this region forward.

I'd like to see ANY facts from VUI...Perhaps Dunavant is putting forth his best estimate in hopes that VUI will be forthcoming. Here's the place for VUI or varockstar to set the record straight...we're listening.
I was not at the town meeting in Gretna, so I don't know exactly what Dunavant said. I am just seeing the aftermath. I will look into it though, and I will see what I can get to you. In the mean time, there are TONS of facts on my blog www.virginiauraniumblog.com, both on the site itself and in the posts. If you have any specific questions, I will be happy to answer those, as well.
It is easy to understand VUIrockstar. He/she/it is paid by VUI to slander all opponents of uranium mining. He/she/it lives in Danville, so why should he/she/it worry about a little radiation killing a few/many people in the Sheva area and other places downstream.
Charming.
This is why no one can take you seriously.
Do you even know what slander means?
