We need more copper. Is it worth destroying this place?

The Trump administration has opened up America's public lands to mining and fossil fuel companies on an unprecedented scale, lifting decades-long protections from millions of acres of wilderness across the country. In Minnesota, one proposed copper mine is pitting neighbors against each other as they weigh the benefits of new mining jobs against the environmental consequences of a new mines. It’s an old American debate that’s been further complicated here by an unforgiving reality: We need copper, and there are not that many places to get it.

We're never going to "run out" of copper. We still have the same amount of copper now as we've always had.

There was a post I saw that I don’t remember who said it but put this the best” I want to skip to the end of the movie about trump to the fade out credits- when we find out how much prison time they each got”. I swear if someone takes him out I will track down that person to give them a fruit basket- it would be poetic if the administrations lax gun policies are what wind up killing them. I can dream, but I get the feeling this is going to get much worse before it gets better, if it ever does get better

If they can afford to pay the locals $90000 to mine, they can afford to find a way to store that waste. It makes me sick seeing all those people cheering at a decision that will waste this beautiful landscape. I sincerely hope they don't pollute the waterways, and when the copper has run out, they clean up properly. Probably not though, the profits will likely go to apathetic shareholders and none will be kept for decomissioning the mine.

@Alex Siemers what do you mean? Its not like the mining company's dont recycle. Jobs in the recycling industry dont pay as well as mining. We need mining and at the moment (key word at the moment) instead of recylcing in America.

TeenageCapitalist jobs can exist without tearing apart the environment. If anything, the effort needed to recycle materials would provide more jobs than getting them fresh from the ground.

Looks like you need to add insurable values on natural resources such as Fish Tree and Game. Adjust this value so you can afford a modest livelihood.

And yet you (vox) are able to make videos like this due to machines that need copper to function. So if we don't mine for copper here, it will be mined somewhere else. So how is the problem resolved? It's not, out of sight out of mind doesn't mean the Earth is less polluted because we didn't see the manufacturing process. And there is the solution, new way of extraction, and processing for copper. Dangerous heavy metals are in our waters, they have been there since we started mining. Examples are watch any gold panning videos.

Eventually, we need to replace Earth mining with asteroid mining, but that isn’t going to be possible until it makes economic sense. I’m not saying it should be our first priority, but over the next say 200 years we need it to be more and more difficult to mine the Earth

If America actually took better care of its people, even the miners, Trump would had not been so successful at convincing rural America to vote for him. Trump is not the cause, he is a symptom.

Rural america votes for him because he wants them to succseed. The Democratic Party cares more for the minorities and the city dwellers then the people that make the food for people to eat.

God gifted us the ability to re plant. This is how modern america works. Mining companys will clean up. Lumber company's re plant. Over the past 100 years the amount of trees has actually grown in America. God made this land. He made it to be temporary. God always will love us never punish out of hate. We maintain the land we live in even when we destroy it!

It’s not Trumps fault, it’s the workers in the community who take advantage of the $90k per year job opportunities and the guy you showed in the video working for the company. Stop blaming governments and systems. There would be no mining without individual efforts.

The problem stems from too much consumerism. Too much demand for technologies that are relatively marginal improvements over previous generations. In an ideal world there would be a limit to how many products like phones and computers can be produced for consumers.

@Tadas Puodžiūnas no. Trump created these jobs not obama. Trump put policys together to help the economy. This caused record unemployment. Obama had eight years in office. If it was his policys they would have occurred within those eight years.

So once the company is gone they are not required to fix the problem. How about somehow hardening the poison material back up and putting it under the ground again. Just coming up with solutions. Don't know if it will but my comments are more effort than the companies have attempted.

It's inevitable. Eventually non-renewables will become so rare that they will be very costly to extract and utilize, forcing us to look to purely renewable resources for our existence. At which time our world will be even more polluted than now. We will seemingly always be out of balance on the large scale and we will simply limp on by into our future as a species as we always have. Along the way, you will find both sorrow and joy, ugliness and beauty depending on where you look. But there will be very little left pure in the natural world. Perhaps then we will rediscover our role as caretakers of the world rather than abusers of it and perhaps eventually we will bring ourselves back into balance...a long long way into the future.
