Time to reopen our mines and to fend for ourselves. Time for the EPA to lie down and die.

Time to reopen our mines..

Easier said then done. We are a mining family and my husband still mines after 35 years. When you close a mine it's not like shutting off the lights and you can turn them on again. They are usually stripped and they flood.

You have to sink great amounts of money to open them up again. It has to be well worth the money to do that since you are also dealing with rules and regulations and every Indian that thinks it's holy ground.

A US mine is scheduled to reopen soon ~ after suitible modifications. There is a RADIATION PROBLEM associated with rare earth mining that has to be considered.

Word is the Chinese are closing their own mines for the same reasons.

This all starts as THORIUM breaks down into RARE EARTHS.

Simply amazing, the very element that heats the Earth's insides through radioactive decay has some radioactive debris lying about.

These things are readily ascertained on the internet.

ABSOLUTELY! The first order of business once the R’s take back congress. Take away the law powers of the EPA! They should never have been given any such power in the first place.

They’ll open them only after they’ve sold the rights to China.

Its what they’re doing with our oil shale.
