permitting, page-2

Good question Niz, definately not seen as a negative by me at least and I am sure many others.

Firstly you need to understand the permitting process to get an idea of what may be a barrier. The biggest of these is environmental aspects and impacts.

I direct you to the following for a little light reading...Not from Wyoming but you will get the idea and there are a lot of similarities to the Wyoming process.

PEN require permits from:
* Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
* U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Except for one big positive aspect. Gus informed me earlier this year that there is "no public consultation period applicable to Lance". Also a large proportion of Lance is private landowners that have come to agreement already with PEN in the aquisition process. They want this project to proceed.
