We stand in solidarity with the Havasupai Tribe.
āTribal members and millions of visitors each year are now impacted by the operation of the mine and the hauling of the ore. Shame on EFRI, and those who were not brave enough to do what is right and necessary.
We will not give up we owe that ancestors our children and the generations to come we will fight on.ā
- Statement from Havasupai Tribe Regarding Energy Fuels Resources Once Again Hauling Uranium Ore

During todayās gathering at the Pinyon Plain uranium mine one of the uranium ore transportation trucks came to a stop and land protectors pleaded with the driver to respect our Mother Earth. Although the truck was empty, it was still letting off low levels of radiation that register close to ānormalā background levels. Lanes were blocked in both directions and police intervened to clear the road.
An hour after this shut down and the group retreated, police and unmarked vehicles continued to head north towards the site.

Los Alamos National Laboratory is facing its biggest expansion since the World War II-era Manhattan Project, the top-secret government effort to produce the worldās first atomic weapons.

The current expansion will require a colossal use of resources, including one that New Mexico has in short supply these days ā water.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Energy projected that the Los Alamos expansion would require around 504 million gallons of water annually ā about 1.4 million gallons of water per day ā for at least another decade. By comparison, a single New Mexico resident uses about 81 gallons per day.
The lab started making plutonium bomb cores, or āpitsā for a new generation of warheads well before an environmental impact statement was published in March. In its latest move, however, the Department of Energy has set its sights on an even larger ā and thirstier ā expansion.

Looking forward to sharing my work and presenting alongside fellow artists such as @j_gipe (check out his work!), activists, affected community members, and researchers involved in all things nuclear as we gather at Naropa University to connect and dig into questions surrounding nuclear power and the proliferation of data centers as a matter of environmental justice.
Itās a dark and isolating path of work but I am SO grateful to be surrounded and supported by such big hearted like minded people the next couple of days.
Presentations are only available during the in-person workshop. An evening webinar including Professor MV Ramana and Professor Benedetta Brevini led by Kathleen Sullivan will be available online ⤵ļø

āAs the result of an executive order from the Trump administration that removes any guardrails to protect the environment, Colorado is being targeted for both new nuclear build (so-called āsmall modular reactorsā) in Pueblo and a boom in data centers along the Front Range.Ā
The Joanna Macy Center is honored to host two leading experts in nuclear technology and artificial intelligence in a webinar on April 29th 4PM Mountain Time. Professor MV Ramana, author of Nuclear is not the Solution:Ā The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate ChangeĀ (VersoāÆbooks, 2024), and Professor Benedetta Brevini, author of IsĀ AI Good for the Planet?Ā (Polity publisher, 2021) will share their views and take your questions.Ā
There is a lot of talk about a nuclear power renaissance, but for now that remains to be seen. What we do know is that the main reason for new nuclear reactors is not to provide electricity for hospitals or heating for homes, but rather to fuel industries that centralize power for the billionaire class. That is, to provide energy for artificial intelligence, cloud computing and bitcoin. None of these are necessary for life and in fact threaten the long-term health of people and local ecologies. Please join us on April 29th to learn more and understand how best to counter these dangerous proposals.ā - Kathleen Sullivan

āThe resolution against exploratory uranium drilling passed the Rio Arriba County Commission requiring that exploratory mining operations not move forward until every federally mandated environmental review is completed. It demands a moratorium on moving forward until a full environmental impact statement (EIS) is complete, and that abbreviated versions of that review will not suffice.ā
āWhether the proposal, known as the āMesa Arc Projectā, moves forward is up to the U.S. Forest Service. Canada-based Gamma Resources wants to drill 10-12 boreholes in the Chama watershed near the community of Canjilon, which sits about 30 miles north of Abiquiu Reservoir.
The Upper Chama Conservation District stated in the resolution that the proposal presents significant risks to the surrounding resources, citing the radioactive nature of uranium and legacy contamination suffered by northwestern New Mexico and Navajo Nation communities.ā
āLopez said he hopes that all of New Mexico, not just northern residents, pay attention to this because the water system is very connected here, and the entire state could be impacted if any type of contamination were to occur.ā
āRio Arriba County Chairman Moises Morales said during a phone interview from his farm, the goal of the resolution is to do what he believes the forest service wonāt. He claims historically they have been irresponsible stewards of the lands, highlighting historical grievances, including civil rights investigations and land grant violations.ā
āA spokesman for the Carson National Forest said in a statement that they are currently reviewing the proposal to determine if itās complete enough for them to consider. He added that once it is complete, they will determine the level of analysis. He added that this project is strictly exploratory and that an actual mining project is separate in federal law. He wrote, āIf a proposal for mining were submitted, it would trigger its own separate and rigorous regulatory review and environmental analysis.ā
If approved, this would be the first uranium operation in the state since the late 1990s.ā
