You expect the non-mining public to be sympathetic with that? The state 
is flat out mining iron and the workers would just migrate to uranium 
for more money still, leaving us to accommodate "guest workers" to cover 
the existing industry... if they can be found at all. No net advantage 
except you pull more money and raise the cost of living for everyone else.
