ASX uranium shares are once again becoming a hot topic. Somewhat ironically, investing in uranium miners is controversial in Australia. I say that because Australia is believed to have the world’s largest uranium resources. At least for resources that are recoverable at a reasonable cost. Yet with no nuclear power generation of its own, and no nuclear-powered naval vessels, many Aussie investors view uranium as a dangerous energy source best relegated to the last century.

Now there are good reasons to be cautious around uranium. It can, after all, be enriched for use in nuclear missiles. And the waste remains radioactive for many centuries.

On the flipside, however, uranium produces power without any carbon emissions. And in a world intent on de-carbonising without turning off the power, some analysts are forecasting a fresh bull run for uranium. The case for a 2021 uranium bull market

Energy Resources of Australia Limited (ASX: ERA) on Friday will end all uranium mining and processing at the mine completely surrounded by Kakadu National Park. The move comes 40 years after mining within the Northern Territory’s famous region started amid controversy. Uranium is used as fuel for nuclear power generation. The site of ERA’s Ranger mine had long been known to Indigenous peoples as a place that would cause radiation sickness.

The fierce public debate in the 1970s over extracting such a sensitive material from an environmentally and culturally significant area triggered many downstream impacts.

Among those was the very creation of the Kakadu National Park itself in 1979 in an attempt to protect the remaining area. Uranium mining started in 1980.

Since then ERA has produced more than 132,000 tonnes of uranium oxide from the Ranger mine.Majority shareholder Rio Tinto Limited (ASX: RIO) , which has endured its own controversy this […]
