Your deal should be that the ban on uranium mining goes into effect <em>when, and not until,</em> breeder reactor technology is being successfully deployed.<br /><br />Don't make the mistake of promising something for nothing more than a possibility.<br /><br />Given the agenda of the "environmental" movement, however, no such deal is possible anyhow. Since they're winning on both fronts, why should they concede anything?Brian Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962229896535398120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-60376833059700951862012-01-09T16:07:03.437-05:002012-01-09T16:07:03.437-05:00I wonder if these "environmental" groups...I wonder if these "environmental" groups would accept the uranium mining ban in exchange for the development and deployment of breeder reactors. What could be better? No need to mine uranium for centuries, and spent nuclear fuel could be used rather than put into a hole in the ground.<br />I'm not holding my breath.donbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-52781239604703357372012-01-09T15:50:51.546-05:002012-01-09T15:50:51.546-05:00Folks may also be interested in NEI's testimon...<a href="http://www.nei.org/publicpolicy/congressionaltestimony/testimony-to-the-house-committee-on-natural-resources---subcommittee-on-national-parks-forests-and-public-lands-on-hr-3155-to-preserve-the-multiple-use-land-management-policy-in-the-state-of-arizona-/" rel="nofollow">Folks may also be interested in NEI's testimony in November on the matter</a>.
