  1. Unfortunately we need metals. The new tailings disposal regulations make it so it’s very unlikely that anything like sulfuric acid will get into Lake Superior.

  3. They mined that state park and dumped their toxic waste all over town because I got high

  4. So when everything everywhere is mined, pumped, excavated, drilled and extracted. When every last bit of land have been used and abused. When the natural world that gave us life is in absolute ruin and humanity stands alone on top of the scrap heap of our collective greed. Is it only then that it is enough?

  5. Taxpayer funds for harm or care? Let’s hope Michigan’s choice is fair!

  6. So why the fuck do I have to pay for the infrastructure so a company can make a profit? They putting in 425 already, come off the extra 50 they damn self.
