Uranium mining a benefit? A ball faced Lie!

213 people have now demonstrated either their desire to be blissfully ignorant about the dismal record of uranium mining or their total disregard for both the property rights and property values of the residents of northwest Victoria County!

Shall we visit with those who know what uranium mining is like first hand?

Hello Mr. Long.
  I was reading the Vic Adv online & read the article on the uranium test drilling in Goliad Co.  I worked for the US Steel Corp back in the 80's, when they were heavy into "Yellow cake"mining.
  Live Oak County has a lot of people that could give Goliad info on what they are about to have rain down upon them!
  What got my attention was the fact that there is already "RED ALGE" in the water table!! That stuff would burn up a 20hsp pump!
IT NEEDS NO SUNLIGHT.
THIS STUFF WILL SPREAD IN THE AQUIFER!
THIS STUFF CAN'T BE KILLED!! (It laughs @ bleach! I know 1st hand.)
 IT MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE AREA!
MONITOR WELLS ARE STILL BEING PUMPED TO CONTAIN IT TO CERTAIN AREAS YEARS AFTER THE OP WAS CLOSED. 
  Richer  ores were found in Australia, so most of Uranium mineing was closed out in Texas.  Some I know were prepared but never mined.
  It's in our water table sands in a swath across Texas. It's only300' to 400' average down!  This County is full of it!
  So I don't see why it would even be profitable now; the cleanup is astronomical! 
  If US Steel Corp got out of it---just think if a small Corp went bankrupt?
They would NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE CLEANUP!!   US Steel followed through.
  Also cattle were not allowed to graze any of that land nor bale on any. 
The ground was concidered cantaminated where it was procesed unless it going to be strip mined; then you have air borne contaminates.  The list goes on & on & on!!
Email me back if you want to know more.  I would like to talk to the County Agent so he will have info @ another meeting.
Thanks for your input on the scurge that's about to hit them.

Shall we wish disaster on our neighbors for the economic benefit of the very few? Is that what the people of Victoria are all about? Are we as sick and depraved as those who have left one mess after another across the state?
