And whose fanny was seated in the Governor's seat when this all began? Who knows????? We have to have industry. It is as important to all of us as MONEY which in itself is NOT a bad word. I am a little tired of those saying AHA to everything. Industry has halved poverty and starvation since 1990. It also sends plumes of bad stuff into the atmosphere. We gotta eat. We gotta have people manufacturing stuff.
And the radioactive stuff. It appears to be quite minimal...see here; "The pond at the old Piney Point phosphate mine sits in a stack of phosphogypsum, a waste product from manufacturing fertilizer that is radioactive. It contains small amounts of naturally occurring radium and uranium."
