This is an example of what the socialist, grievance industry has done to domestic mining projects. This mine could have settled the problem of imported copper and provide 5,000 jobs eventually. I'm following this in part because this is the town I was born in and the mine I first went to work in at age 18. It was a good start that is no longer available to entry level and skilled workers alike. What the hell, ain't welfare grand. Not so tiring anyhow.

If the environmentalist REALLY cared about Mother Earth they would relax the rules a little bit, and promote mining in America.

Instead it is done in third-world countries where there are very few (if any) environmental rules, no worker safety laws, no regard for the local people, etc.
