Today, I have read regarding uranium mining, “Del. Terry Kilgore, chairman of the Virginia Commission on Coal and Energy, said Virginia Uranium Inc. would pay for the study by the National Academy of Sciences.”
So, a man, backed by a foreign interest with unlimited pockets deeper than even his own, and supported by family and friends in our government from Chatham to Richmond to Washington can pay for an “unbiased” opinion on how financially lucrative uranium mining in our community would be (reportedly worth billions of dollars) and expect that we will accept its validity.
However, “Kilgore said Virginia Uranium will fund the scientific study, but not an in-depth look at the socio-economic impact of uranium mining.”
Why not? Is it because that part of the equation is the least of VUI’s concern? Of course — that’s why we, the rest of us, must make it ours.
