Natural Resource Disaster

The more I read and learn about mining in the U.S. and other areas, the more I’ve come to realize that quite often natural resources are destroyed or contaminated beyond reclaiming–especially in the case of uranium mining. Here is a good clip featuring Woody Harrelson that highlights the destruction occurring in the Appalachians with coal mining. Take the destruction shown there, make it invisible and longer lasting, and you’ll get an idea of just how dangerous uranium mining is for Colorado.
