Does Colorado want to grow...I mean glow?

The legend on the water tower says 'Watch Nunn Grow', not 'Watch Nunn Glow'.





"Though President Obama and industry officials are pushing for more nuclear energy, it remains controversial, particularly for people living near uranium deposits.

"People have a misunderstanding about uranium and nuclear power in general," says Powertech CEO Richard Clement. "People conceive of uranium being a major radioactive substance where if you just become associated with it you're going to be radiated and killed."

Powertech hopes to mine uranium in Nunn, a small northern Colorado town. But residents are rallying against mining in their community, citing environmental concerns."

"During the last uranium mining boom of the 1970s, open pit mining sickened workers. And poisonous by-products like arsenic polluted some rivers and drinking water supplies across the southwest."

"We had hundreds of thousands of wells in the Gulf of Mexico that weren't a problem either and now they're a problem. So it just takes the one Chernobyl.."
