Darryl Hannah decries proposed Colo. uranium mill

July 03, 2009 @ 12:30 AM

MONTROSE, Colo. -- Actress Darryl Hannah is speaking out against a proposed uranium and vanadium mine in southwest Colorado.

Hannah, who grew up in the area and has a home in San Miguel County, spoke this week at a meeting of the planning commission in adjacent Montrose County, where Toronto-based Energy Fuels Inc. wants to build the mill.

In West Virginia last month, Hannah and others were arrested in a protest of mountaintop-removal mining.
