Nuclear is on the verge of a comeback.

But where will the uranium to power new reactors come from?

@jakebolster.bsky.social, @dylanbaddour.bsky.social and I dive into the resurgence of uranium mining and the impacts it will have on communities.

The U.S. says it wants to revive its atomic power industry, but it barely produces any nuclear fuel

Now uranium mines are popping up in Wyoming, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah as the U.S. scrambles to reestablish a domestic nuclear supply chain

Stop the genocide in Gaza
I can no longer accept this life.
I can’t live, I can’t endure, I can’t do anything.
Depression is slowly consuming me.
Everything I planned for, everything I worked so hard to achieve, all my dreams have collapsed before my eyes.
I can’t bear all this loss anymore.

Major oil companies are drilling in East Texas again, but not for oil. This time, they’re after lithium for batteries and other rare elements.
A new generation of industries emerges in Texas from federal push for mining revival
The U.S. doesn’t produce the minerals and metals needed for renewable energy, microchips or military technology. Authorities want to change that as quickly as possible.

Earlier this year we went to Japan and documented methane emissions from LNG import facilities. This year Tim also went to Canada to document methane emissions from their oil and gas infrastructure.

The bad news is wherever we go, we find a lot of emissions.

This is the 10th boat they’ve hit. It wasn’t even moving and they presented zero evidence of guilt as usual. When the Coast Guard used to actually stop and search vessels, a quarter of the boats had no contraband. Hegseth is simply executing people without evidence or trial based on suspicion.
