WAPO article on HRC and Uranium One
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact...1b7895145f

Quote:The repeated, incorrect claim that Russia obtained ‘20 percent of our uranium’

Quote:The Pinocchio Test

The 20 percent figure has long been in wide circulation. As we noted, the Fact Checker recently used it, though with caveats. But we should have looked at the actual production data and asked the NRC for an updated estimate of production capacity. Clearly, the number is woefully out of date.

Given that Uranium One’s production is only 2 percent of an already small total U.S. production — not 20 percent — the overwrought claims that Clinton “gave away” 20 percent of the U.S. nuclear supply or that Russia controls that much U.S. uranium are simply absurd.

2% or 20% is irrelevant. She sold the contract award for personal gain.

And why are you here? Didn't you lose a bet?

RE: WAPO article on HRC and Uranium One
WAPO article is sorta bull****. The deal is in percentages so it really doesn't matter if the IS production was one gram one 100mm metric tons, the percentage remains the same. The article is trying to downplay the amount of US production.

I can't access the article. Where does it get the 2% figure from? Factcheck.org uses the 20% figure on a post dated 10/26/17 http://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/facts-uranium-one/ and sources the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The only place I can see where WAPO may have something is that the deal is actually stated for 20% of a particular type of uranium recovery process used by 10 of the 11 producers so the "20% of US supply" isn't strictly accurate depending on the production rate of the eleventh company.

HRC had no dealings with this issue. She never even had a vote on this.The Secretary of State is not in charge of what is being reported. Even Tillerson have no say on the sale of uranium.

Was she not in position to raise objections if she chose to do so? Did she not "not object" to the deal? Did her husband and foundation not receive a rather large sum of money from principles involved in the deal?

Come on guys Clinton isn't exactly an amateur at this. The deal didn't come together overnight so there isn't going to be a neat and tidy tit-for-tat between the approval and contribution dates.

The State Dept is a voting member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) so she indeed had dealings and a vote on this.

Virginia’s Coles Hill Uranium Deposit Faces Crucial Vote as Russia Takes Uranium One
January 17, 2013

...... That is especially true in light of Monday’s news that Uranium One (TSX:UUU) will now be wholly owned by Russian state-controlled miner ARMZ. Uranium One holds the Willow Creek uranium mine, which is located in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming; it produced 214,800 pounds of U3O8 in 2011 and has significant potential for expansion. On Monday, Uranium One announced that ARMZ will pay C$1.3 billion for the remaining 48.6 percent of the company not already under its control. The Russian company plans to delist Uranium One. Uranium Investing News will continue to follow both these stories as they unfold.

RE: WAPO article on HRC and Uranium One
Don't let the Russians get this one!

Quote:Uranium company sues Virginia over the right to mine huge deposit

The lawsuit says extracting the material domestically would reduce dependence on Russia, which supplies about one-fifth of the uranium used in U.S. nuclear power plants.

The company says it controls 3,500 acres atop the largest known uranium deposit in the country — and one of the largest in the world — with a market value of $6 billion.


Virginia Uranium is owned by Virginia Energy Resources Inc., based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

RE: WAPO article on HRC and Uranium One
Remember when the numbnuts tried to tell us this deal was ok because the uranium would never leave the US. Well, we found out yesterday that 255 of it has already left the US, thru Canada, and is now in Europe and Asia.

Way to go, numbnuts.
