Utah Becomes Radiocative

Readers,

I am deeply concerned by the recent news that Utah will become the dumping ground for another 10-14,000 metric tons of depleted Uranium from South Carolina, adding to the already 49.000 tons in Clive, Utah-only 70 miles west of Salt Lake City. Uranium becomes hotter over time and releases deadly Radon gas- aka Uranium stored in Utah will become a more serious problem over time.Additionally, the state's nuclear committee rejected at 180 day moratorium on Uranium storage, a delay that would have allowed state inspectors to determine the safety of the storage plans. Are you following along? The safety of Uranium storage at Clive HAS NOT been determined!!!! The bottom line is that Energy Solutions receives millions of dollars from this deal, Representative Bishop (R) will likely get more campaign contributions (on top of the over 28,000 he has already received from Energy Solutions) and more Utahns will get cancer.

The following list of Energy Solution's PAC campaign contributions likely reflects a low estimate of actual contributions, this information was found at: www.opensecrets.org. Here is a list of Utah's top recipients of Energy Solution's donations:

1) Robert Bennett (R), Senator: $49,300 from Energy Solutions (2005-Present)

2) Rob Bishop (R), Representative:$28,900, majority of funds to Bishop himself, from Energy Solutions (2004- Present).

3) Jim Matheson (D), Representative: $11,546, from Energy Solutions, (2006- Present).

We have to get mad as hell, and translate that anger to action!! I have asked Utah Representative Neil A. Hansen to draft a letter to Governor Herbert protesting this action. We can't let money-hungry corporations like Energy Solutions reap in millions at the expense of the livelihood of our families, friends, and fellow citizens.

Contact your Utah Representative and demand that he/she defend Utahns against the storage of potentially lethal Uranium in Utah.
