That’s another good video Falcon 👍 I’ve got a couple things to add about Niger but seeing as Glen Greenwald touched on this in his opening sentence, and it’s the same problem repeating over and over

  Russian were talking about holding a referendum in Alaska and reclaiming it a few months ago . Maybe they are planning on controlling some of our supply .

by shutting down 14% of the total uranium that we import from russia for use in ~18% of our energy. lulz. and i had to look that up he said basically what i quoted. 'putin can literally turn off the economy of america by cutting off refined uranium'. what a clown.

niger is trading one colonial power for another. im sure since russia is the largest refiner of uranium in the world putin will have no problem assisting another market competitor refine uranium to sell so the people of africa can keep the wealth.






Canada and Australia have more uranium than the rest of the world combined. I think the US will be fine

We just made a bunch of uranium on reservation land a national park.  Nobody seems too worried.

Here’s a map of all the unused uranium mines in the US. There’s one in Baltimore lol

That’s a lot of uranium. I don’t think we can even use all the uranium we could produce. Curious to see if we start using more nuclear power in the future.

Despite being the largest atom of any naturally occurring element, and one of the rarest elements in the universe, it is 1000x times more abundant in the earths crust than gold. It’s about as common as lead and by weight more abundant than tin.

You guys should write to The Washington Post and tell them they're full of shit (see middle bar below):

Uranium Risks Becoming the Next Critical Minerals Crisis



Quote:

Nearly three-quarters of nuclear generation happens in Europe, North America, and developed parts of Asia. Rich nations and their allies, however, provide just 19% of the 75,000 metric tons of uranium oxide needed to fuel those reactors each year. China, the former Soviet Union, Iran and Pakistan together accounted for 62% of mined production in 2021. India and traditionally non-aligned countries in Africa produce the remainder.

I used to work in a plant making pipe for oil wells.  We exported most of it cause prices needed to go up for producers to have incentive to drill in America. 

It never bothered me too bad cause my view was that earlier generations making laws that we could not export seemed to me to be saving our resources for a rainy day.  Building pipelines to the coast worried me more as well as changing the export laws as that meant we had changed to burning up our resource. 

I kept thinking, god forbid if we ever did have a world war, we might end up like Germany in the second world war when their populace was reduced to making wood gasifiers just to get around and were dyeing from toxic fumes when they parked in their garages.  I can see both sides but also think some history might not be forgotten while we move along. Their war effort was stifled (Thankfully) to lack of stuff that would move their war machines.

The reason American uranium production shut down in the 80s is because uranium prices cratered. It’s not a rare resource.

It won’t make sense to use nuclear power until oil and natural gas prices make it necessary.

I have a feeling if the Arab League continues pushing the US away we’ll just do a Green New Deal with alternative sources and let the entire Middle East crumble. These gulf monarchies are all on borrowed time.

But China and India each purchase more oil from the Middle East than the US does.  :shrug:

Here's an absolutely hilarious video (based on the reaction of the host being addressed) of a speech at the U.N. Food Systems Pre-Summit on 27 Jul 21 about Western involvement in Congo.  :lol:

The US gets very little oil from the Middle East. Less than 1m barrels a day. The US produces 12.5m bpd, we get 4.5 from Canada, and about a million from Latin America and a million from all other sources

Jeffrey Sachs making too much sense again.

George Galloway points out a few truths about that region of Africa as well.

https://twitter.com/georgegalloway/status/1687855934234845184?s=46&t=BKhNVtIcPiFttMHSf5MG2w

Which leads to scenes like this
