• At the moment, the United States is at a shortfall of domestically produced uranium. (Domestically produced uranium is the fuel used to operate its nuclear-powered military fleets as well as the 104 nuclear reactors that are providing energy for America).
• According to the U.S. Department of energy, more than ninety percent of America's uranium is imported from foreign sources.
• Virginia needs to put natural resources (like the ones at Coles Hill!) to work because they can be a "powerful economic engine" for the state and for the national security of America's energy production.
• If we get a  full scale mining and milling operation at Coles Hill, it will support over 1,00 jobs for 35 years, (the lifespan of the mine), generate 5 billion dollars in revenue for Virginia, and generate 112 million dollars in state and local taxes.
• The Company Churma expects an annural economic ipact of 136.7 million dollas, (102,0 million of that will be manifest in the Southside of Virginia) 
• The impact of the mines will spread across the entire local economy and is almost twice the gross revenue ($62 million) produced by all 1,364 farms in Pittsylvania county
• The uranium mining operation in Virginia will also support asphalt, machine, industrial equipment, cement, and construction businesses.
