I Will Live for Both of Us: A History of Colonialism, Uranium Mining, and Inuit Resistance – book review

Joan Scottie, Warren Bernauer and Jack Hicks, I Will Live for Both of Us: A History of Colonialism, Uranium Mining, and Inuit Resistance (University of Manitoba Press 2022), 264pp. The story of an Inuit woman’s organisation of opposition to colonial expropriation is an inspiring narrative of resistance, finds John Clarke

I Will Live for Both of Us depicts the colonial relationship between the Inuit people and the Canadian state and shows how the latter serves the extractive industries. The process of dispossession, however, is shown from the perspective of those who have faced it. We see the harsh measures that were imposed on the Inuit along with the manipulative methods of governments and mining companies. Sadly, we also witness the mechanisms of collaboration within the oppressed population.

At the outset, we are informed that ‘My Christian name is Joan, but Paningaya’naaq is the name I was given when I was […]

Entrepreneur says he holds the secret to Utah’s uranium renaissance

Longtime uranium entrepreneur George Glasier is back in business with a fresh proposal to develop a mine and mill in Utah’s Emery County. The projects would use new and efficient technologies for extracting ore from the ground and separating out the uranium and vanadium — systems that rely on water rather than the hazardous chemicals used in conventional processes.

But environmental activists are doubtful Glasier will secure necessary permits anytime soon, if ever.

A founder of Energy Fuels Inc., Glacier acquired some of that company’s properties to start a Canada-based company called Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. in 2014.

In a news release issued Monday , Western unveiled its latest plans, saying it acquired land for the proposed mill with the support of state and local officials and initiated permitting processes. This mill would also be capable of processing cobalt, a critical element that is used in electric vehicles.“We’ve got probably the […]

The Best Nuclear Energy Stocks To Buy in January 2023

The growth of nuclear energy will be a massive story over the next few decades.

The world is moving away from fossil fuels in a significant way, but there are a few problems with mothballing power plants that burn coal or natural gas. Greener versions of power — like wind turbines or solar projects — aren’t nearly as environmentally friendly as first advertised, thanks to current manufacturing practices. Besides, even after a decade of serious investment into renewables, wind and solar power make up just 10.7% of global power generation.

Nuclear energy solves many of these problems. Nuclear plants are long-life assets that can last decades longer than solar or wind farms. Fuel is abundant and is easily transported, thanks to its relatively close proximity to uranium production. Two significant risks — meltdown and nuclear waste — have significantly improved over time, especially after Fukushima in 2011. It’s still not foolproof, […]
