Environmentalists wage war on Pebble Project.

There is not a proposed mine or a development that is not opposed by the Environmentalists. Most of the Enviros are Liberals, so their modus operandi is that ANYTHING GOES. I serve up the pressure to stop the Pebble Mine as an example.

First, the Enviros try to make a project unfeasible by endless litigation and scaring off prospective financiers and partners. Second, the Enviros try to create an atmosphere poisoned for the project. They try to prevent an objective analysis of the proposed project and try to enlist people who react emotionally. And of course, Enviros are not hesitant to distort and lie.

In the case of the Pebble Project, the Enviroes scared off the Mitsubichi Corporation, the Anglo American Corporation and recently Rio Tinto, all before there was an official plan of operations by Northern Dynasty, or an official hearing.

The Enviros contend in a letter (sent out by the Natural Resources Defense Council) that the Pebble Project would be built in Bristol Bay and threaten salmon spawning areas. The Enviros are not shy in stretching the truth: the mine is proposed to be built 60 miles from Cook Inlet, entirely on State land that is zoned for mining.

The Pebble Project is a world class resource of copper, gold and tungsten and it would provide 15,000 jobs over decades.
