00:00So, did you guys see the paper this week about the mill?
00:07Yeah, look at what's going on.
00:09We're trying to open up a uranium mill and they're trying to shut it down.
00:15You know, it was a big dream.
00:17People are looking forward to these jobs.
00:19I want them to understand that there's people here.
00:21Yeah, but I don't think they care about us people.
00:23I mean, there's no compromise.
00:25They don't care about us.
00:32Nuclear energy remains our largest source of fuel that produces no carbon emissions.
00:36We'll need to increase our supply of nuclear power.
00:39It is the first uranium mill to be built in the United States in 25 years.
00:43There is no impact from what we have done or what we plan to do in the future regarding
00:49uranium mine development.
00:50We need more production, more efficiency, more incentives.
00:53And that means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this
00:58country.
00:59They are not telling you the truth.
01:00I'm really disgusted and I'm against this mill.
01:04If you're only hearing the piece about jobs, you're not protecting your community.
01:09I dare you to do better.
01:11The people complaining the most are driving to the protests in their Mercedes.
01:15You can only kick a dog so many times and pretty soon he's going to turn around and
01:18bite you.
01:20I found you scrawled off the side of the road.
01:33You look like you should on the hood of my El Dorado.
01:40I have pulmonary fibrosis.
01:51I lost a father and two brothers from lung cancer.
01:55They all worked in the mines.
01:57My dad and my younger brother both died at the age of 48.
02:02But the way I feel, it was their time to go.
