After seeing the blight on the landscape that solar panels and windmills produce, my first response is NO mining.
Discuss, and get all the details out in the open.
Then ... We’ll see.
If Nevada NIMBYs don’t want it, I’d love to see the Michigan copper mines back in full production. Its the purest known copper too.
In 500 years nobody will know or care there was a copper mine. At least copper is useful for something. Like building solar panels and windmills which cost more energy than they produce.
