On Tuesday, Energy Fuels Resources, the company that owns a uranium mine near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, began hauling ore to a mill in southern Utah.

In a statement, the company said the shipments are safe, have low levels of radiation and have been permitted by state and federal regulators.

But the transport route includes a large swath of the Navajo Nation, which opposes the mine and has outlawed uranium hauling through its lands.

Navajo President Buu Nygren quickly sent out Navajo police in an effort to turn the trucks back, but the shipments eventually passed through the reservation on highways regulated by state agencies.

The president has vowed to stop any future uranium hauling and spoke with KNAU’s Ryan Heinsius about the tribe’s response.

Been around for a full year before anyone decided to be this big an ass hole. Maybe they should read the side bar and keep there opinions to themselves before they start throwing accusations.

Ive had many from hexbear here, who understand what's going and are able to contribute to the conversation.

I apologize for the friendly fire. I am currently doing volunteer work on a reservation so I was a little heated, and you're right I should've checked the sidebar. But also considering my impressions of lemm.ee users on average (no offense) and the comm name I feel like it wasn't entirely my fault.

We all make mistakes and we grow. It's no big deal because it's coming from the right place.

I am the one true leftist of Lemm.ee. Gaze upon my pile and dispare

None of the other posts look as bad next to the name brainworms () as this did. I'm just saying its an honest mistake and it'll probably happen again.
