    CNBC reported two environmental groups opposed to lifting a 30 year uranium mining ban in Virginia have petitioned the governor to disregard the findings of a state panel.

    As quoted in the market news:

    The criticism is aimed at the Uranium Working Group, a multi-agency effort to examine the regulatory framework and safeguards that would need to be in place if Virginia lifted a 1982 ban on uranium mining. The panel is not expected to issue a recommendation on an issue the 2013 General Assembly will likely address.
