I don't often participate in global warming panic because it's become the excuse for so much environmental crime, including the uranium mining boom and new nuclear enrichment plant and nuclear power plant boom, with government subsidies, all based on the myth of carbon-free nuclear. John McCain and George Bush both talk about climate change and carbon-free nuclear, as does Barack Obama, and, as do most of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, especially Nanc Pelosi, even as they vote another $165 billion to indefinitely carry on the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars whose cost could, I'm sure, by now, have funded a global Solar New Deal. This chart makes it very clear that the price of uranium and the whole nulcear cycle is man-made carbon emissions. So, if man-made carbon emissions are indeed hastening global warming, then one planetary price---one of many vert high planetary, and human, prices--of uranium mining, and the whole nuclear cycle, is hastening global warming. ---Annie, annie@thepriceofuranium.com text/html 2008-06-15T19:36:33+01:00 http://www.thepriceofuranium.com http://www.thepriceofuranium.com/2008061540/News/News/ranium_in_aboriginal_Australia.html If we can imagine the injustice, then we can have justice SF Bay View. text/html 2008-05-26T02:13:48+01:00 http://www.thepriceofuranium.com http://www.thepriceofuranium.com/2008052632/Uranium_Producing_States/Australia/Uranium_Dreaming.html by Scott Ludlam — last modified 2007-10-29 03:08Uranium mining threatens Aboriginal culture and land rights at many sites across Australia.

The committee stated in its report, that the best way to stop the spread of nuclear weapons would be to prohibit the mining of uranium. (Note: This particular paragraph leaped out at me from within this fascinating piece, which I first found on the Friends of the Congo website, http://www.friendsofthecongo.org/ . I could not agree more with physicist James Franck and thr committee that came to this conclusion.—Annie) Read more (http://www.fredsakademiet.dk/library/uran.pdf).
