Pebble mine is long overdue.  We must fight those who are actually polluting the Oceans with unregulated mines in China and other high pullution nations.

US share of copper mining has fallen from over 50% to 5%.  Why is this a good thing?... when US environmental codes are magnitudes better than China and US mine technology is far cleaner.

It is not a good thing.  Killing Pebble does not eliminate your copper demand.  Your smart phone.  Your car.... etc... All require copper.

If the US does not start mining again... all these minerals this author and you all demand every year will come from unregulated nations that dump toxins without a peep from any of you.

You have been brainwashed and no longer look at global reality.  You only look at what the globalists want... and in so doing are all polluting this world for their profit... at the cost of american jobs and the economic well being of Alaskans and Alaska who will earn $10s of billions from Pebble & see cost of living decline.
