#1 Just when Uranium material is about to explode in use worldwide. I guess our congressional representatives got some insider trading going. We were getting it dirt cheap from Russia but that's over now.

#2 Salazar has a California attitude, which is that the US shouldn't mine, drill, refine, or have any other kind of industry when we can pay foreigners to do so in their countries. "Super-NIMBY".

That's why California gets much of its water from the Colorado river, its potable water from Mexican desalinization plants, much of its electricity from Palo Verde nuclear in Arizona, its crude oil imported before it is put through their unique refining, which makes it very expensive, etc.

And why California is dying on the vine.

#4 I second RJ's asessment of the Secretary of the Anterior. He probably wishes the Moki Dugway hadn't been built for uranium trucks too.

#5 of course the producers who already have a mining operation will be among the beneficiaries
