Sure!
Wyoming levees big extraction taxes on its oil and coal. But since neither of those sources are being extracted, the state hasn't collected very much money from them for the past several years.
The billionaires in Jackson Hole put their foot down and put the state on notice they've paid all the taxes they are going to pay, and if the state leans on them some more, they will sell out and move on.
So the Russians are going to be welcomed with open arms. Those Republican ranchers won't care who it is who pays the tax bill as long as it isn't them.
US companies and other foreign subsidiaries are mining all over the earth. Hell the largest copper mine in America and the 2nd largest in the world is owned by a parent company based in the UK. Those are American resources but geographically and sold to Americans but the assets themselves are own by Brits. We don't really care because Brits are our Allies but it could potentially be the opposite.
Yes there are foreign-owned mines in the USA. More than half of the gold mines are owned by foreign companies, for example. Is there a particular reason why this one is egregious?
Australia and Canada have 37% of the world's Uranium resources.
Do you really think the Biden admin and whomever is running things will not grant permission to U-One?
5% of domestic uranium? That wasn't true back in 2013.
From the article...
“I am pleased to inform you that today we control 20 percent of uranium in the United States. If we need that uranium, we shall be able to use it any time,” said the former Rosatom’s head Sergey Kiriyenko back in 2013 in his address speech to the Russian Parliament after Rosatom consolidated 100% of Uranium One and took it private.
Uranium One now is one of the world’s largest uranium producers with a portfolio of assets worldwide, including Kazakhstan, the United States, Tanzania, Namibia and other countries. Uranium One is currently producing uranium in Kazakhstan from Akdala, South Inkai, Karatau, Akbastau, Zarechnoye and Kharasan mines.
Yep, 5% of produiction:
"Uranium One can be responsible for no more than 5.9 percent of domestic U3O8 production"
They were at 20% when it was first bought by Russia for 51% ownership, then slipped to 10% a few years later when Russia fully owned it. It has further slipped.
Further more, the US imports most of its uranium anyway, the US is not a large producer of uranium, it is tenth in production actually, a paltry 67 tons. Compare that is Kazakhstan at almost 23 thousand tons, Russia itself produces 2900 tons.
You are getting angered over something that has not happened, nor will happen, in that you think Biden is going to grant permission to export uranium from the US. But I ask, what uranium? The US hardly produces any and actually imports most of it.
Yesterday, the Land Quality Division of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) announced it has approved the in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium mine permit application submitted by Uranium One, owned by the Russian nuclear state corporation Rosatom.
…
Uranium One was acquired by the Russian nuclear state corporation Rosatom in January 2013, and this deal was surrounded by a string of scandals involving allegations against the Clinton Foundation.
Well, well – the boys are back in town. The narrative for four years was that the prior president was buddies with Russia. They lied to you. We are seeing who the friends of Russia really are. Follow the money…
Keystone out... Uranium One in.... got it.
Does Liz Cheyney know anything about this?
Looky looky, the mask came off really quick with this one.
They have to get past the federal govt and the Dem POTUS first.
