PoltitiFact Virginia: Uranium mining - NBC12.com - Richmond, VA News

The battle of uranium mining is one of the hottest in this year's General Assembly.

The expectations for what uranium could bring are a big part of the conversation.

Patrick Wales of Virginia Uranium claims there's "20 times" more energy in a proposed southside uranium mine than all the oil estimated to be off Virginia's coast.

Is that true?

According to reporters at PolitiFact Virginia - it is spot on. In fact, according to reporter Sean Gorman, he might even be under-selling his claim.
