Eric Jantz Speaks at Public Interest Environment Law Conference

Staff Attorney Eric Jantz will be speaking tomorrow on the “Legacy and the Latest Uranium ‘Boom’– The Renewed Fight to Protect People and Water” panel of the Public Interest Environment Law Conference.

Rising uranium prices have spawned a new round of uranium speculation centered in the West. This new “boom” threatens many of the communities and landscapes where past mining resulted in severe public health and environmental impacts. Panelists will discuss current efforts to hold the mining industry and government accountable for impacts from past mining, current efforts to resist and change destructive policies, and work aimed to generate energy and income that does not also destroy water, air, and sacred places.
