America’s uranium industry has been absolutely devastated by Department of Energy decisions and political maneuvering by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and individuals closely tied to her.
...
in 1976, the uranium extraction industry employed 35,000 people. Today .. fewer than 500 people in this country are involved in it .. 20 percent of our electrical power is dependent on those 500 people, that’s every fifth light-bulb. We’re now producing enough uranium to power 4 or 5 of our nuclear reactors, that’s 94 dependent on foreign uranium.
...
Since 2011, DOE has sold off roughly $1 billion of publicly-owned uranium through private sellers without overseeing the transactions
...
While Clinton was secretary of state, the department approved the sale of approximately 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity to Russian-controlled companies, including Uranium One. Uranium One’s chairman donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to The New York Times. The donation was not publicly disclosed.
Uranium One is deeply tied to the government of Kazakhstan and has received substantial concessions and perks from that government. Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who chaired Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, has been citing environmental concerns to prevent America’s largest uranium deposit from being mined since 2013, boosting Uranium One’s market share and profits.

Gov. McAuliffe’s opposition to a vibrant domestic uranium industry makes no sense, unless his friend Hillary Clinton is making money off of foreign owned companies
...
DOE and McAuliffe’s actions have allowed foreign producers, especially Kazakhstan and Russia, to dominate the American market. Kazakhstan alone now supplies 23 percent of the uranium for America’s nuclear reactors
...
American commercial nuclear reactors doubled their purchases of Kazakhstani uranium in 2014, largely due to the decline in the amount of the American uranium industry.

Moab had a large industry as well.
Hillary; how is it going down that Obama was able to push thru ObamaCare and yet you were not able to make a dent in the market earlier?

And McAuliffe was the paymaster for Andrew McCabe’s “investigation” of Hillary’s emails.
