Uraniumhead Ponders:
Perhaps The Coal and Energy Commission
seems to interpret Article XI of the Constitution of Virginia as:

Constitution of Virginia, Article XI - Conservation

Article XI states that it is the general policy of the Commonwealth to preserve, protect and conserve the state's [[natural resources| natural]] and historic resources so uranium mining and milling can occur without impediment. The General Assembly is permitted to further these policies by entering into [[public-private partnerships]] or partnerships with federal agencies and foreign countries to insure uranium mining and milling with disregard for human health.

A 2001 amendment added Section 4, which establishes [[hunt]]ing and [[fishing]] as constitutional rights of Virginians, though the legislature may enact appropriate regulations and restrictions on these rights. However, citizens may consume the fish or game at their own risk.

The Constitution of Virginia actually says:

Uraniumead's interpretation of the uranium study objectives.

URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA

STUDY OBJECTIVES: TO ASSESS THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS OFURANIUM MINING, MILLING AND PROCESSING IN VIRGINIA AND HOW TO POISON VIRGINIA'S ENVIRONMENT, HUMAN POPULATION AND HOW LEGISLATORS CAN HIDE BEHIND PSUEDO- SAFETY AND REGULATORY BULL-HOCKEY

THE STUDY WILL REVIEW:

1. HOW TO MAKE LOTS OF MONEY FOR THE URANIUM INDUSTRY

2. WORLDWIDE URANIUM DEPOSITS AND OPERATIONS AND HOW THE URANIUM INDUSTRY CAN MAKE MONEY

3. HOW WE CAN FIND MORE URANIUM DEPOSITS IN VIRGINIA AND ALLOW GREATER PROFITS FOR THE URANIUM INDUSTRY

4. MAKE UP NEW URANIUM MINING, MILLING AND PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES TO EXPERIMENT ON VIRGINIA'S CITIZENS

THE STUDY WILL ASSESS:

5. OCCUPATIONAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PROBLEMS BY IGNORING THEM

6. STRINGENT SECURITY STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES TO FURTHER VIRGINIA'S DESIRE TO BECOME A POLICE STATE

7. THE "FEEL-GOOD" ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

8. CLOSURE AND POST-MINING LAND USE AND MONITORING...NOT THAT IT WILL BE NEEDED SINCE WE PLAN TO DIG UP THE WHOLE STATE

9. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS AND PUBLIC OUTREACH IN VIRGINIA TO EDUCATE CITIZENS RE: HOW DEATH, BIRTH DEFECTS AND LOSS OF PROPERTY VAUES AND AGRICULTURE CAN BE POSITIVE

10. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT INSURE MINING AND MILLING OF URANIUM IN VIRGINIA

5/21/2009 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA

STUDY OBJECTIVES: TO ADDRESS SITE- AND REGION-SPECIFIC SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS SUCH AS QUALITY OF LIFE,INFRASTRUCTURE, LOCAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE VALUES.

STUDY COMPONENTS:

1. SOCIAL IMPACTS-IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT URANIUM MINING AND MILLING YOU WILL NOT BE INVITED TO IMPORTANT PARTIES, SOCIAL EVENTS OR GARDEN TOURS

2. ECONOMIC IMPACTS-HOW THE URANIUM INDUSTRY PLANS TO MAKE BILLIONS AT YOUR EXPENSE

3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS-PROBABLY JUST IN PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY SINCE THE STATE VIEWS IT AS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY ANYWAY

4. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS-MINING AND MILLING OF URANIUM IS GOOD FOR VIRGINIA AND THE NATION. WE CAN BEGIN TO CULL UNWANTED SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION BY CAUSING INFERTILITY.
