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 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.

I'm sure the only minnesotans who supported it were at the rally.. the rest of the state is against the this pillage of natural resources..

Go see Butte, MT. The ground water is so polluted with arsenic that trees don't even grow any more. It is the largest hazard waste area in the world from Butte to Missoula Montana! The mining company will leave the waste for the state to clean up when they say they are broke and have to close the mine!

Uhh then everyone should stop using phones, putting pipes in their homes? No we won’t stop. And if we don’t get in here in the US, another forest/region in the world will be effected. There’s nothing we can do..unfortunately

Roosevelt is actually a bit of a contradiction. He was one of the most impactful early big game hunters in Africa, killing thousands of animals for trophy/gain. He did make the national parks but it needs a full picture!

Communal housing would solve the copper crisis, I'm guessing.

Funny how the left that’s against the mining uses theodore Roosevelt name to defend the forest but that same left took down his monument.

So much Copper in our dumps. Always thought about mining landfills. Mines need to clean up the waste. Extract the lead and arsenic and sell them. Add it to the cost of the product. Drying it and storing it is not a solution.

It's too late, we are already on a downward spiral that we can't reverse. We've opened Pandora's box with plastic, combined with everything else we are doing to this planet, we are doomed. The ocean is slowly turning acidic, by 2045 there may no longer be fish in the ocean, phytoplankton, responsible for half the earth's oxygen will end up dying, the other half of our oxygen comes from plants and we are already destroying that. We are adding 80 million people to the world every year, that's the country of Germany every year. We have killed half of the animals on the planet already. We can't focus on specific problems, we have to focus on the destruction of the earth and eventual extinction of humans.

Don’t mine the copper and stop making wind turbines because they only last 20 years max, stop making solar panels because they don’t last very long either and electric cars are literally a catastrophic environmental disaster. Of course stop using copper to make phones by cannibalize old phones and stop upgrading.

Biden's presidency will probably be a continuation of Obama's & the Obama administration (where Biden was VP) blocked opening of the mine.

Yes there are many places to get copper, all the endless equipment getting thrown out instead of recycled, the world throws out 4 trillion dollars worth of things they mined out of the ground and made into things instead of recycling them and making more money out of them.

Why not just put the tailings underground and fill in the tunnels with them? Easy storage and reduces risk of collapse and release.

Right now the benefits of electric cars aren’t that great. Cobalt mining has a much worse impact on the environment than this does. I believe from a materials breakdown of a Tesla Model 3, it’s about a 7 year payoff before the model 3 becomes more environmentally friendly versus a gas or diesel car. Said batteries only last about 10 years. Oil drilling really isn’t that bad for the environment, it’s really only the spills that are. We need investment into better batteries that last longer and use fewer scarce resources. Once we do that I feel electric vehicles will take over for passenger cars, and once we get batteries that can charge quicker and hold more energy, then we’ll see a turnover to electric trucks for goods.

Personally, I don’t think ANY products should be manufactured if there is not a clear and approved recycling plan that is followed. We can keep mining, manufacturing using and throwing in a land fill..THAT is not sustainable.
