It would have been an iron mine. Lots of that stuff here.
To further my response -
The iron would have been extracted via water and magnets - no chemicals whatsoever..
This company and the GOP compromised, bent over backwards to make this happen - to the tune of 22 or so ammendments to the bill - the Dems never negotiated in good faith and never had any intention of letting this pass..
It’s a real shame, but I think it’s going to backfire on them. Walker will win recall and in November we’ll win back at least 2 of the senate seats...
Gogebic Taconite wanted to create a $1.5 billion open pit taconite iron mining operation in northern Wisconsin.
