The government must appropriate the Chernobyled lands and protect the citizens from the ecological hazards.

#3 I'm glad to hear that the mine opened, but would it have opened had a bunch of woke libtards protested instead of some injuns?

#5 There are active and inactive uranium mines all over the southwest. A lot of them are quite near, or actually in, parks and other public areas where folks might hike or camp. There's always signage saying exactly where the mine is and not to enter them.

Every one I have seen during my hikes is also severely plugged and gated off.

#6 Excuse me but the Colorado River runs through the Grand Canyon and that river provides most of the drinking water for most of southern California. A uranium mine that might leak into the river is a concern.
