Biden firm on uranium-mining ban around 'jewel' of the Grand Canyon

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – For four years, the Trump administration took steps to boost uranium mining for what it called national security reasons, a move environmentalists saw as an attempt to open the door to mining near the Grand Canyon.

President-elect Joe Biden may be ready to shut that door for good.

“I can’t believe I have to say this, but we can’t let Donald Trump open up the Grand Canyon for uranium mining,” Biden tweeted in August, after a Trump administration task force on nuclear fuel proposed relaxing restrictions on mining on federal lands.

In a statement posted at the same time, Biden called the Grand Canyon an “irreplaceable jewel” and blasted the Trump administration’s mining plan, saying he would focus instead on developing clean energy. While Biden did not lay out a specific mining plan, his statement was still enough for Kevin Dahl.

5. Isn't the sky walk the property of the Native Americans?

Editing post to add this information:

Where is the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge?

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is NOT located near the South or North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Rather it is located at Grand Canyon West, on reservation land owned by the Hualapai Indian Tribe.

3. What we are in danger of losing (very important):

I post this often, when the subject is appropriate. We are SO close to losing national treasures that are literally (yes, literally literally!) priceless and irreplaceable...once lost, never to be regained.

In this documentary, there is a man that says (paraphrase) "It's called public land...show me MY part because I want to sell it!"
THAT STATEMENT IS A LIE! They don't want to sell THEIR part...they want to buy YOUR part...for NOTHING.
Another says he would drill in a cemetery if there was oil under it.
At least that man isn't lying to you.

4. We have enuf uranium to blow up the world 5 times over, but, yeah, we need more.
