After 11 years of major efforts, the Resolution Cooper finally obtained permit for their "worlds cleanest Mine". The permit was several years behind, but now, Resident Bidet deemed all the analysis to be rushed and withdrew the permit. According to Gov. Ducey, it will cost 1450 jobs and about billion dollars for the Arizona economy.
Screw Arizona, if you don’t think there was voter fraud they are getting what they voted for. If you think there was voter fraud they are getting what they deserve for not fighting it tooth and nail.
And yet the media reports that Biden wants Rare Earths mining to resume, big time.
Finishing The Wall and doing pipelines would be good immediate infrastructure projects.
Impeach BiXiden. Now.
Resolution Copper - had to look this one up.
Its apparently a very large copper and molybdenum mine project. Would generate huge revenues for Arizona
Its a good thing electric cars, windmill and solar panels don’t need copper or rare metals like molybdenum!!
Put more Az residents on the dole in need of big uncle Sam every year, and create voters who will vote to keep their plantation government supporting them.
Why does the executive branch of the federal government have any say at all in what the sovereign state of Arizona or any private landowner therein does with its land? Is the proposed site on federal property?
Anyone know where in Arizona?
Near Superior, AZ, about 60 miles east of AZ.
Superior AZ. Queen Creek Canyon
Total mess up of a simple land exchange. Rio Tinto has lands that should be protected, a joining national parks and great national forests and the area around Superior has already been mined in the past. Anyone who has actually been to Queen Creek Canyon would not fight this land trade with a permit.
There are several reservations in the vicinity of the proposed mine, they might even appreciate jobs.
Note my post 12. Joe figures private landowners should have to consult with tribes, don’t know which ones, when developing non reservation land. I think we should give Delaware back to the Delawares.
Is this another “sacred land” shakedown? Amazing how the most dismal piece of dirt suddenly becomes sacred as soon as anyone wants to put it to good use.
Someone should tell goobernator Douchey that stolen “elections” have consequences.
Oak flat near Superior AZ.
Apparently one of the largest coper deposit in the world.
When they found the lode there, it was major find, advertised as the biggest find in US history. Just motherlode of coper. That was long time ago, looks like it will stay there forever, at least until there is major political shift.
It was approved by the congress a long time ago (under Obama) but the environmentalists demanded all kind of studies. There were also some Indian tribal claims there.
It seems that anytime there is a development, some tribe suddenly discovers that that used to be their sacred ground.
E.g. I-202 extension suddenly became sacred ground when they decided to put freeway there. They did extensive historical evaluation and all they found was few old bullets, likely from white hunters about hundred years ago.
With no more land transfer of the copper ore, that would leave hot air balloons... lots of them.
