A Chilean mining conglomerate is pouring money into lobbying efforts to get the Senate to do some serious legislative gymnastics and greenlight a sulfide copper-nickel mine in the headwaters of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters.
The minerals they mine will be shipped to China to be smelted, manufactured into products, and then sold back to us — all while polluting some of our most precious public lands in the process.
If we don’t stop them, it would open a Pandora's box of threats to public lands in other parts of the country. Every public land order could be reversed.
The Senate needs to stand firm: We are pro-mining, but not this mine in this place.
@BR_OpenIce So the 3rd best team in the west (by 12 points) has to play AT the 2nd best team, then AT the best team just to reach the semis ? Well done @NHL
