Summary:
Wyoming's Ready: A State Open for Uranium Mining!The New Era of Wyoming’s Uranium Industry
Part One of a Five-Part Series
Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal is enthusiastic about the booming uranium market. As Wyoming is the largest uranium producer in the U.S., it holds more than 40% of the nation's uranium reserves. This support is timely, considering uranium prices have surged over 500% since late 2000.
Governor Freudenthal embraces uranium mining, seeing it as a key part of Wyoming’s history and a potential solution to the energy crisis. "We need greater domestic energy capability," he remarked.
Freudenthal encourages investment in Wyoming’s rich uranium deposits, noting active interest since 2004. Companies like Strathmore Minerals, Energy Metals Corporation, Kilgore Minerals, UR-Energy, and Uranerz Energy are making significant moves, beyond just speculation. The governor believes these companies mean serious business and is eager to facilitate them.
Wyoming offers a favorable regulatory climate and experience with in-situ mining techniques. Freudenthal welcomes nuclear-focused investments and believes the state is ready to play a pivotal role.
The governor sees Wyoming as more comfortable with commodity development than states like New Mexico, which, while closer to larger markets, have yet to capitalize fully on the uranium boom.
Freudenthal is proactive in developing necessary infrastructure, crucial for supporting power generation projects, including nuclear plants. The state has initiated efforts like the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority to expand power line construction, essential for any future energy projects.
Wyoming's economy thrives on commodities, with a nearly $2 billion surplus from resources like oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium. This surplus funds college scholarships, infrastructure, and human capital investments, promising continued growth.
As a Democratic governor in a predominantly red state, Freudenthal’s popularity and vision highlight Wyoming's potential role in a revitalized nuclear future.
