So after the road is complete, the plan appears to be to build multiple open-pit mines. Even putting aside for a moment the "actual" and "potential" environmental impacts of just building/maintaining the road, contemplate the "actual" and "potential" negative impacts of having just one open pit mine, let alone multiples...We all know accidents will happen. if this goes through, don't kid yourselves, they will be taking a huge dump on the whole region with negative impacts that will have to be dealt with for a very long time.

Build the road.  Build out our industrial infrastructure.  Reduce dependency on hostile nations.

Implement strict environmental oversight.  Mitigate damage.  Hold negligent parties accountable.

What is the problem with this?
