before B Clinton, the US was the worlds largest supplier of rare earths, after B Clinton closed US mines and converted them into parks etc, China took the lead.

The Pebble Mine’s principle minerals are porphyry copper, gold, and molybdenum, not rare earths.

The copper-and-gold mine planned near Bristol Bay, Alaska, known as Pebble Mine, was blocked by the Obama administration's EPA after scientists found that the mine would cause "complete loss of" the bay's fish habitat.

Obama's EPA were the incompetents who poisoned the Animas River in 2015.

I would argue that wiping out the entire salmon popultion is an exageration with malice

I have seen nothing that proves the mine will actually pollute the waters.

The hysteria is similar to the damn stopping snail datrer hysteria.

Fake hysteria

A cousin used to fish out of Dillingham. When he complained about the future mine I suggested the fishermen form a group and buy the mineral rights. Crickets.

I get it. You have a commitment.

Not really sure what you mean by that, however, I was just confirming your statement.

Yes, just like they were against oil pipelines because it would hurt wildlife.

But after the pipelines were built, the wildlife actually increased, I saw photos of animals happily walking on top of the pipelines.

Oh come on! You know hyperbole when you see it! This isn’t going to harm fish at all.
