The article discusses the increasing activity in uranium mining across the Western United States, driven by rising demand for emissions-free energy and federal initiatives to lessen dependence on Russian uranium supplies. Miners are extracting uranium from sites in Arizona and Wyoming, prompted by a surge in uranium prices to their highest in over 15 years. This resurgence is rejuvenating previously declining mining regions following the Cold War.
