Little Chicago Review -Barrasso grills the DOE over excess uranium management - 0 views
-
Energy Net on 28 Dec 09Tuesday, during a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing, Senator John Barrasso criticized the Department of Energy's (DOE) management of its excess uranium stockpiles. He noted that DOE's policy of forcing too much of its uranium stockpile into the market will artificially drive down uranium prices, undercutting domestic uranium mining and hurting jobs in Wyoming. "There is a lot at stake for Wyoming jobs and the uranium industry's investment in Wyoming. The Department's short-sighted proposal promises temporary jobs in Ohio at the expense of long-term jobs in Wyoming," said Barrasso.
