The mining decision must rethink
In mid -September, the Trump Administration Management Office announced that it is planning to allow the oil and gas digging again in the federal wild areas that were directed by the Biden Administration. It is a change that corresponds to the White House talisman, “Drill, Baby, Drill” – which is illogical in a world dependent on the fossil fuel of Vladimir Putin. The White House may be overburdened in a long -standing carbon -free future.
But let’s hope that the Land Management Office will take a closer look at specific areas before green development. The economy of maintaining the wild can be more complicated, when carefully examined, than the economy that depends only on doubts in the environment as the word symbol of obstruction.
This is the conclusion of this writer three days after the lakes and rivers of the country’s largest land area, and border waters on the Minnesota-Entario border. This trip is not planned late in the summer with the public policy analysis in mind.
The plan was to put politics and politics behind it. It seems that there is no better way of a boat journey in Wild Water Water area in Minnesota, 1.1 million acres from 1100 lakes, 200 camps and rivers filled with wild rice – off the network. Do not check his phone. Primitive camping with a hole toilet.
But in America today, it became clear even our distant paddle, surrounded by Loons and SWANS to blind the trumpet on the virgin lakes, and flowers of colored mushrooms, remained by the environmental organization – which will be greatly affected by the White House Trump. It is a controversial location on metal mining, which appears to incite functions against the environment. President Trump has made clear his point of view – mining functions come first. But a closer look at the economy – and the fact that mining profits will flow outside the country – must make it reconsider.
River water gatherings, which nourish hundreds of lakes flowing north to Hudson Bay, also contain some of the richest copper deposits and nickel ore, and vital minerals for electronics. Chilean mining giant, which works under the name Twin Metals Minnesota, which is proposed to be developed, was prevented from doing this by the Biden Administration, which rejected a required permit on federal lands.
Trump promised to stop the campaign, to change this “in ten minutes.” The permit is now officially reviewed. Democratic Senate members in Minnesota sought to prevent such a statement by amending the “Great Big Law Law” of Trump – but it is not surprising that they are brief.
On the surface, this opposition appears as a clear case of environmental blockage, and not only prevent economic development – 4000 mining jobs – and avoid the need to import decisive minerals. Another in the Eco-Tremist Policy Series-such as protecting the dance owl that killed northern western woods or snailing that hinders agricultural waters in California.
But the economies, which are widely understood, for the decision of the mining permit, should give the stoppage to those who will give light. Environmental tourism itself is large business. This is confirmed by the border water friends, a group of support that opposes mining. Ely, Minnesota, offers clothing and evidences that embody it.
Lake Walleye reflects on the local lists the prosperous fishing industry in the region, which could not easily coexist with Cooper extraction waste, in the event of pollution of the water gatherings. In particular, for Maga, if the revenues flow well south of the border to Chile. Members of the Congress who support Trump-among them Republicans from the upper Middle West-may want a note.
But primitive camping made it clear that clear economic considerations are very narrow. America’s desire to entertain the open air sparked a creative boom in what can be called entertainment technology. All kinds of equipment have become lighter, more tight, and a novel. Lake water can be purified with small UV lights. Sleeping comfort is enabled by soft pads suitable for small bags. Fiberglass boats are lighter for 30 lbs than that aluminum that you once carried. Water -resistant pants remain dry even after a step in deep water.
Stores are stored in Ely – throughout the country – with such things. An annual revenue amounting to $ 3.5 billion from 195 stores, as annual revenues amounted to $ 3.5 billion from 195 stores in Seattle in 1971, annual revenues amounted to $ 3.5 billion from 195 stores in Seattle in 1971, annual revenues amounted to $ 3.5 billion from 195 stores in Seattle, the revenue of NN Inn am
This, too, is economic development – shelves filled with a small engineering miracle that can only think they can be useful for the army as well. Jin Jacobs, in her historical book, “Cities and Nations Wealth”, was surprised by the ways in which innovation occurs, noting that the breakthroughs can arise as side benefits of games; One is thinking here about the drone game that turned Ukraine into defense.
The protection of the wilderness may seem as a basis for the national defense is ridiculous – but perhaps not. The issue of border water shows that decisions related to the development of the wild should be taken carefully, by both the White House and Congress, on the basis of each case separately-and in more than ten minutes.
