And aluminum? The mining itself is a destructive and toxic nightmare from which riparian communities will not awaken in anything but geologic time.

WTH does that even mean?

It would take thousands and thousands of years for a green weenie tribe wiping their butts with leaves and living off of the land to live where aluminum was once mined.

It means that aluminum (really bauxite) mining can really destroy river ecosystems, to the point that it can take tens of thousands of years for an affected river to recover.
