">Why the Federal Government Still Has No Permanent Nuclear Waste Solution
- Clean Energy and Policy
- 1 month ago
Forty-three years after Congress promised a solution, the United States remains trapped in an expensive stalemate over nuclear waste disposal. Despite President Trump's recent executive orders calling for a "recommended national policy to support spent nuclear fuel management" within 240 days, decades of political reversals have left 89,000 metric tons of radioactive waste scattered across 75 sites with no permanent solution in sight.

">Justice Delayed: Environmental Exploitation and Recovery
- Civic Engagement and Advocacy
- 1 month ago
For over eight decades, Indigenous communities worldwide have served as unwilling guardians of humanity's most dangerous industrial legacy. From the uranium mines of Namibia to the nuclear test sites of Kazakhstan, from the Marshall Islands to the Navajo Nation, Native peoples have borne the environmental and health costs of the global nuclear industry while reaping none of its benefits.
This pattern of "nuclear colonization" represents a modern form of environmental racism where marginalized communities become expendable in pursuit of national security and energy production. The consequences are measured not just in contaminated soil and water, but in generations of cancer, birth defects, and cultural displacement.
