Uranium Resolution Passed In Virginia County

CNBC reported a resolution about uranium mining has been adopted in a Virginia county with a large uranium deposit.

As quoted in the market news:

But media outlets report that Pittsylvania County’s resolution doesn’t make any recommendation on whether the state’s 30-year-old ban on uranium mining should be lifted or retained.

Instead, the resolution approved Monday by the county Board of Supervisors suggests that state lawmakers review studies of the proposed mining’s effects. It also cites the potential for hundreds of jobs, along with safety regulations and environmental concerns.
