Thats because people are being made to be helpless idiots who need their nanny state and are more concerned with how they feel than truth. They want to hear how evil and crooked and destructive these companies are. While there ate crooks an any industry that makes real money, once again the facts are unglamorous and dont line up with the agenda of making sheep so all power can be totally removed from the civilians. The ones who have the power when they know the govenrment works for them and are not our leaders. They are employees who are representatives of the people ... So now mining is a low brow job thats only destructive. Never mind the reclimation programs that the mining companies started on their own well before laws where passed forcing land reclimation. Anyone with half a brain can see that if you want to continue making money by digging up a natural area you put everything back so nature will take over easily when finished so the public outcry and protests are Minimal. It not perfect but most of the succesfull mining companies may know how to handle their business. Just a guess. Sorry general "people " piss me off because of how stupid they really are and its getting worse. As a student of dying skills im learning about geology and mining . i prospect to learn small scale what to do and how to track mineral depostion...i will have to move from this state to start actually mining if i dont wamt to deal with being a pirate in the eyes of new york state...though im not sure their claim to precious mineral rights counts being tbat its called the kings law...which following the laws of the crown on u.s. soil is considered treason according to the constitution...id love to see this states government tried for such things...sorry for the book.

Agreed!

the mines are not the waste dumps, it is the refinery's....and if not for them, you would not be typing your message, you would be writing it with a stick in the sand

@@Laura-wc5xt Did you ever climb the side of the Bluebird mine in Superior? They dumped thousands of barrels of acid on top that which all ran into Queen Creek, poisoning it forever. Casa Grande has another mega toxic waste dump.

@@bingosunnoon9341 that is why there is copper wire on top of those pylons carrying the electricity down into your house that gave you the ability to type that and powers the light bulb so you don't trip over in the dark and a hot shower TV....etc etc....

@@russellking9762 Is that hot shower heated by electricity, gas, or some other fossil fuel? Hhmm.....................We wonders, yes we wonders.

Not easy to find or figure. We import many things with copper in it as well as export some. China uses the most, but much is exported to the U.S.

Lignin sulfonate. The stinky, sticky gooey waste product of bleaching paper pulp. Ground-up trees are washed in sulfuric acid and that eats the binding lignin (tree glue) away into this waste product, leaves bleached cellulose for paper.
