President Biden's Declaration of Grand Canyon as National Monument and Ban on Uranium Mining
President Biden declared the Grand Canyon a national monument, banning uranium mining, leading to opposition from Arizona's Senate president who seeks to undo the 'land grab' for energy exploration. The move aims to make the U.S. less reliant on foreign uranium and potentially tap into domestic sources. Historical context includes past bans on domestic uranium mining and controversies around foreign involvement in energy deals. The decision is seen as federal overreach impacting Arizona's Tenth Amendment rights.
