British Columbia’s Copper Mountain mine is a ticking timebomb just miles from the Washington border. New reports show an unacceptable chance of failure of the mine’s waste dams which would decimate communities, critical waterways and wildlife on both sides of the border.
Washington leaders need to demand that their B.C. counterparts resolve the perilous state of those dams and strengthen regulations, so this doesn’t happen anywhere else.

Extracting the copper and minerals used to build your e.v.s and electrical transmission lines, your smart phones, your houses, your appartments, your schools, your places of work, your hospitals and its life saving equipment... Now say again why You think this is "bad".

You dare bring rationality into this place of mindless fear mongering and protest? How dare you make a reasonable counter argument that makes complete sense!

British Colombia is an environmental nightmare in so many ways. I have stopped going there in protest. Everyone should.

Your mockup of the tailings dam geometry is incorrect. What methodology was used for the dam runout and stability models?

Thanks for reaching out! Both the reports (Lynker and Emerman) have a description of the methodology used and can be found here www.cct-enr.com/copper-mt-mine-bcc

Where will the minerals used to make the device you wrote this on come from? Why is that land less important to the people from there, than this land is to us?
