Mary Rafferty, Virginia Sierra Club’s Grassroots Organizer and Host Sunny Gardener discuss the safety and reasonableness of mining uranium in Virginia as it pertains to the agriculture at the base of our food system. Mary is informed and clear about the science, economics and politics of the venture. This is groundwork for the discussion that needs to take place across the Commonwealth and nation in light of energy needs, wants and dangers. Lightly on the Ground Radio airs on WRIR lp 97.3 FM and worldwide at WRIR.ORG, noon on Wednesday and on the web at 11 on Thursday.
