Uranium mining is nothing but BAD, BAD, BAD!

Can you believe there were 164 people in this area ignorant enough to answer the Advocate poll and believe there is an economic benefit to uranium mining in Goliad?

Do you people know how to read? Are you not aware, as anyone who can read should be, that uranium exploration and mining companies have a consistant habit(extend that to POLICY) of making dangerous environmental messes and then filing bankruptcy and going down the road to make another mess under another name?

Ask the man in charge of the Goliad operation what happened to last company he worked for? Ask him if he's welcome in that county? Ask him why he called his old retired buddy from the RailRoad Commission and asked him to come get these Goliad people off his back!

Do you people believe bank deposits equal economic benefit when people's property rights and values are destroyed? How much taxes can you get out of a wasteland?

Go to Google or Ask.com and look up uranium mining and count all the incredible disasters these predators have caused!

Of what value is land if the groundwater is not fit for consumption? Do you think this only concerns Goliad County? Wake up people! This project is in the watershed of Coleto Creek? Did you know that Victoria County residents have already been approached to lease their land to this foreign owned corporation?

A good portion of Coleto Creek south of HWY 59 has already been destroyed by sewer effluent, you want these sociopaths to finish the job? Anyone who can seriously consider in situ leach mining operations in that watershed, considering all the mountains of evidence against that type of mining, is either ignorant of the cost to private property or has serious sociopathic tendencies?

I've dealt with these type of sick individuals before serving on the Citizens Forum for the Lower Guadalupe Water Supply Project. Look you in the face smiling and lie through their teeth! You catch them in a lie and prove them wrong and they smile and tell the same lie to the next crowd!

Ask yourself what local former political aide is now a consultant/lobbyist for these people!

Drive down to Kleberg County and ask around! See what happened to the groundwater down there!

    Wow, I had no idea of the sleaze and backroom dealing going on.  I live on the South side of the San Antone River, just outside of Goliad and I knew this mining couldn't be good for the area.  It's clean, natural living in the country and no amount of so-called  economic benefit could ever improve on the way of living we already have.  When I moved to Goliad County last year and heard about the uranium mining, I wondered why only uranium mining companies do not have to disclose what they are looking for when drilling test holes.  I guess I know why now...apparently there is some backroom sleazy dealing going on and the company hoped that the fine folks in Goliad County wouldn't catch on until it was too late.  Surprise!  We are now aware and we don't take this stuff lightly.
