America Needs 50M Pounds of Uranium—But Produces Almost None - Marc Henderson (TSX: LAM)
April 14, 2026

In this interview, Marc Henderson, CEO of Laramide Resources Ltd. (TSX: LAM/ASX: LAM/OTCQX:LMRXF) breaks down the unfolding uranium supply crisis and what it means for investors. With the United States consuming roughly 50 million pounds of uranium annually but producing only a fraction domestically, the conversation explores America’s push to rebuild its nuclear fuel supply chain, the role of ISR uranium production, and how Laramide Resources fits into this strategic shift. Henderson also explains why uranium prices may need to rise significantly to incentivize new supply, discusses key projects like Churchrock and Westmoreland, and shares insights on capital flows, permitting challenges, and global dynamics in Australia and beyond. If you're interested in uranium stocks, nuclear energy, critical minerals policy, or the long-term outlook for the uranium market, this deep-dive interview provides essential context and actionable insights.
