<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for BLM publishes proposed rule which ignores House committee’s resolution]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Angelsnecropolis http://www.grist.org/article/bush-rushes-to-open-grand-canyon-to-toxic-uranium-mining/ Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:28:46 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/bush-rushes-to-open-grand-canyon-to-toxic-uranium-mining/1 Legacy... pfft

I believe Bush isn't even concerned with his "legacy" any longer. With his abysmall approval numbers legacy is the last thing that he's worried about. He's probably made a fortune off of all the environmental degredation and damage he has done.

In this world money is still master.

Here's what I wrote in my comments:

Please reconsider the proposed rule which rejects the House Natural Resources Emergency Resolution enacted in June that bans uranium mining and exploration near the Grand Canyon National Park.

The negative impacts are dire:

Contamination of the drinking water of more than 25 million people served by the Colorado River
Negative impacts on wildlife as detailed by Arizona Game and Fish
Elimination of provisions that allow Congress to make such withdrawals in the future, should they be desired

The Grand Canyon National Park is still dealing with the toxic mess from past mines. Please don't allow more.
