...a 20-year ban on new mining claims on public land surrounding the Grand Canyon. Which hopefully will turn into a one year ban if we get a president in the Whitehouse next year that doesn't seek to destroy American industry.

At the current time, we are little more than the United States of Obama’s Czars. As an aside, modern uranium mining is basically a field of injection and recovery wells and a modest chemical recovery plant. Less of an environmental footprint than a hillside of windmills. He’s intentionally hobbling US access to raw materials needed for domestic energy production, plain and simple.

Obama is doing everything he can to absolutely halt all American jobs, put all Americans on the government dole and will soon open huge camps for the poor and needy..wha, wha, who stole my tinfoil hat? But again, what is happening is not a tinnfoil hat attack, it’s reality.

The Obama administration announced a federal ban Monday on new mining claims affecting a million acres near the Grand Canyon, an area known to be rich in high-grade uranium ore reserves.
Another shot at Arizona's economy by the Marxists in chief.

Let’s turn the District of Corruption into an open pit mine. You can bet $oro$ owns a uranium mine somewhere in the world.
