Well done BlackDiamond. I’m impressed with the divergence from just climbing, skiing, running content, and to use your platform to support indigenous and human issues.
There is a town in Argentina, it is called Chilecito, with a very similar history. The townspeople organized and built a movement and fought together to close and expel the mine from the country. Great example. Saludos!!! "el famatina no se toca"
Well, uranium ore per se is barely radioactive (you can see miners taking it out with bare hands and without any protection at 2:14) and, despite the ingestion in high quantity through water is dangerous, I doubt there will ever be any possible hazard for either public health or the environment. I understand the political point though, having a mine in an indigenous territory (and national monument) isn't good. I hope this mine can close and that uranium can be extracted somewhere else.
