Trumps EPA says NO to Pebble Mine

[X-Force]

In short, Trump said he would look at putting the mine in and after further review the EPA said not it will be detrimental to the local environment.

Good news, I know nothing about it other than just about 100% of the people I trust that have an opinion on it are against it.

Hope this stays shut down!

Several good friends of mine are commercial fishermen up there in Bristol Bay, and as you can imagine, they are not on board with having a large open-pit mine straddling the headwaters of two major sockeye-producing rivers...

I also hope this stays shut down.

EXACTLY my thoughts!!!  I've still got some friends and relatives that fish.

Just one example of why the EPA actually has a need to be around.

Good deal.

That fishery in the long term is worth more than that mine.

EPA changed their minds and still a big push to put this mine in.

  This mine is so bad, it's built by a foreign company, and when they are done they pack up and leave a large pool of contaminated material waiting to contaminate the waters of Bristol. Also, should this mine go, it opens the doors for many more peculiar projects around the country. The Twin Metal Mind in Minnesota is another one that I hope doesn't get the green light.

Not very surprising. This administration has put industry and corporate interest over everything. Definitely when it comes to environmental and wildlife concerns, but pretty much everywhere else too.

The EPA and ESA both need a lot of revision and cut backs in their authority.

*censored*it. Stopping this mine was the one good thing I could think of that he'd done, and now they had to go and reverse it. This mine is, bar none, the worst industry project ever proposed. Contaminating one of the most productive and pristine watersheds in the world so a few billionaires can mine some more metal. Just unbelievable.

What are you talking about, he's built the WALL, brought back all the manufacturing jobs from China, coal is cool again, tax cuts that helped out the workin people and we are no longer involved in foreign wars.  MAGA
