Finally, some good news coming out of Washington, D.C. According to theAssociated Press, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will be finalizing a 20-year ban on uranium mining today on over 1 million acres of public land near the Grand Canyon. Granted, there are already thousands of mining claims in place around the area, which won’t be affected by this new ruling, but it’s nice to hear about some good news, especially surrounding the amazing Grand Canyon.
