Our latest set to show you…..uranium mining!
Thursday, May 26, 2011 19:03
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
From our early blogs about the increase in uranium mining here in the U.S. (which has just as much merit today with our country’s ever-rising energy prices as it did back in 2008) to our more recent blogs, uranium mining is something we’ve been watching for quite sometime. Back in 2009 we blogged about the Cotter Corporation’s facility in Canon City, CO and it’s status as one of the Superfund sites in the U.S. And we were pleased to receive a note of thanks for our blog regarding mining too close to residential areas.
So what is all the fuss about? Have a look:

Satellite images showing details of landscape impact caused by an “in-situ” uranium leaching operation in central Wyoming operated by Power Resources, Incorporated. In 2008, PRI was fined by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality for multiple violations at this facility.
