RE:Is the Thelon basin dead?This is a good
summary of things up there
As a grad student in the early 1980's I recall discusions with a geologist from Urangesellschaft. He wanted to do some gravity modelling of the deposit using my new modelling software. They were quite keen on the deposit, but things went south with the locals. The summary above explains it all.
I have worked in the North with the locals. The Inuit have a very different approach to their land compared to other First Nations Peoples in Northern Canada. They have their own government and are still very much tied to their land... my guess is that there wasn't quite as much interference in their culture by colonizers due to their remoteness and lack of perceived conventional resources (furs, arming, forestry) up there. They were left alone to live their lives as is with little encroachment by the outsiders
Perhaps as the effects of climate change become more desperately apparent in the North attitudes will change. But to convince the locals of the connection between the "benefits" to the planet of nuclear power (Uranium mining)? That's going to be a very long process..
