What the Green party needs to realize is. That the US has the best environmental regulations in the world. If we are not allowed to use those regulations to create mines, and we allow countries like India and China to do it. They destroy millions of animals each year as we go in dept because we can't create mines. There are solutions besides radical no ways. For example, if a mine is near a habitat of an animal specieis. However, that mine is going to bring in around over 1 million dollars worth to the domesic economy. Then one could easily place in a small tax to create a barrier to protect those animals. That is what we have done for mining roads and other things to stop such activities. However, we need the Mines as a country to stop the ones in the world with no regulations. As without funds in that area the area goes poor and we can't take on international needs of regulations as we have no funds.
Rebuttal of this article.
Fear v Fact. Fear that mining will destroy nature. Which is false we have permits for proper use of gold mines. Fear the idea that fish which are not anywhere near the mine in comparison to mining permit regulations will get hurt. Reality the area needs the jobs. The Fish are prevalent all over Alaska, jobs are not. With the infusion of the over $1 million dollars in the economy domestically from that mine. They could easily place barriers from poisoning to the fish.
The influx of jobs at 1,000 jobs then the mutiplier affect of 2 which means at leats another 500-1,000 in the area. Would mean that the area could easily spend the taxes to create a dam or even barrier away from the mine to stop any fears of the fishes being hurt.
