Legal battle over uranium mining continues to heat up

Indian Country Today has an excellent report HERE about how the legal battle over allowing an in situ leach uranium mine in the Four Corners that could contaminate drinking water for 15,000 people on the Navajo Nation continues to be fought.  

How about this - when the clean up from the last bunch of uranium mining is finished, then we can talk about new mining......(yes, I know, the 10th Circuit said they don't have to....an unfortunate decision).
