Is Uranium dangerous?

The M.P for the green party Keith Locke urged pacific countries to stop mining uranium as it is dangerous.

Here is his statement from the web page Radio NZ

But Keith Locke says uranium is very dangerous in any form.

“I think we should discourage Niue from allowing this form of exploration because we don’t want Pacific countries involved in uranium mining. And there’s a big controversy in Australia right now about the export of uranium to countries like China, where it might be used to make nuclear weapons.”

What,s happening to the environment?

Sustainability: The ability to maintain balance of a certain process (Wikipedia)
We used to use natural resources at a speed that allowed Mother Nature the time to reproduce what we had used, as time has gone bye and mans need for these natural resources has become more demanding we are now caught in a dilemma of our continued quest for so called advancement vs the negative effect we are causing on the environment and our entire planet. . Wouldn't it be nice too live in a world where resources were available forever so your children's children and their children's children still have the chance to experience all that is beautiful and natural in our planet. The birds singing, the smell of freshly cut grass, the wind between the trees all things that we take for granted. We need to start looking to the future and thinking about our use of Mother Natures gifts and how we can make use of our technology and knowledge to increase resource rather than reduce it. We have to start saving today to keep enough for tomorrow.
