It won’t be Americans
“On July 21, 2009, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced a decision to segregate nearly 1 million acres of federal lands in the Arizona Strip for two years while the Department evaluates whether to withdraw these lands from new mining claims for an additional 20 years. The lands, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, are within portions of the Grand Canyon watershed and contain significant environmental and cultural resources as well as substantial uranium deposits”
Wish it were myranium.
Interesting article, thanks. I went to check on what the USGS had to say about the market for uranium and they don’t even list it in their commodity summaries here:

Peculiar. I was under the impression their were viable uranium deposits in the USA that had been shut down due to lack of demand. I know there was a lot of prospecting done back in the 50’s for the stuff.
