Thesis (M.A.)--University of Wyoming, 2011.

Freshly coined the "uranium renaissance" by market analysts, the new decade uniquely positions Wyoming as a place ripe for prospecting, exploration, and uranium mining, both using traditional methods and the newer in-situ recovery technique. As the "uranium renaissance" commences, recalling the impacts of past uranium mining becomes important so future companies protect local communities, cultures, and the environment. The results of my fieldwork indicate rural Wyomingites are most concerned with environmental degradation, history loss, and difficult legal situations due to uranium extraction activities in Fremont County, Wyoming. Upon researching the concerns of my informants I found common mining tropes rhetorically associated with uranium mining in Wyoming as well as a theory of energy circulation that explains which driving forces or veins create momentum behind mining efforts. Aspiring to improve the "uranium mining situation" in rural Wyoming, I conclude my thesis with nine mining recommendations.
