Arizona's governor says a uranium producer has agreed to temporarily pause transport of the mineral through the Navajo Nation after the tribe raised concerns related to a safety plan.

I decided to find and share an article that included perspectives from Navajo Nation after finding one (Police1) that curiously exempted their reasoning while presenting PR and excuses from the mining company.

    Could you get me up to speed on what part of AP’s report is fake?

      Didn’t read it but headline makes it seem like Governor did a thing like a good guy that he is when in reality he was permitting illegal activity and was called out for it by Navajo nation.

      I don’t know all the facts tho but this is my current understanding

        The governor isn’t really a major subject of the article. At least, I didn’t see it that way. I would recommend reading it.

        Arizona’s Governor is Katie Hobbs. A woman and a Democrat.

          How does any of this absolve the state in being complicit and covering for the uranium mining industry?

            So you are not even going to acknowledge that you have zero idea who the governor is? Do you even know who the current president is?

                    I, for one like nuclear power and afaik, you need uranium for that, and I would rather have the usa mining their own vs. paying someone else for it.
