Think tank: Trump's minerals order could benefit Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming

  • President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14241 in March 2024 to boost critical mineral production mainly in Colorado, Arizona, and Wyoming.
  • The order aims to increase domestic mining for economic and national security benefits and is supported by a Common Sense Institute report using econometric modeling.
  • The report projects that new mining operations could add thousands of jobs and increase GDP by 2040, with Colorado's Uravan Mineral Belt being a key site for uranium and vanadium.
  • Dr. Caitlin McKennie noted that Executive Order 14241 serves as a driving force for development, enabling states with abundant mineral resources to support clean energy initiatives while strengthening local economies and workforces.
  • Critics argue the order threatens public lands by prioritizing mining over conservation and benefits corporate interests, while proponents expect accelerated mineral independence and wind energy growth.
