Therefore a new mine is not necessary to meet demand.<br /><br />The most heinous aspect of the mining bill is the gutting of environmental protections. The sulfide rich waste rock from a Penokee Mountains iron mine would create sulfuric acid when it rains or the snow melts. The mining bill would allow the destruction of wetlands that would at least entrap the acidic water. Instead the acidic water can enter the Bad River watershed and Lake Superior. This will cause major harm to fishing and tourism in the area, an actual long-term economic engine in the Northwoods.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-37240546770530973652013-03-29T03:17:51.046-05:002013-03-29T03:17:51.046-05:00You do realize that Caterpillar is a Democrat stoo...You do realize that Caterpillar is a Democrat stooge, don't you.<br />Nah, the Walker Derangement mental illness syndrome strikes again.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211149561616238625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-51967524404437674932013-03-29T01:08:56.223-05:002013-03-29T01:08:56.223-05:00The rest of the story is the MJS reporting that th...The rest of the story is the MJS reporting that the Democrat party responsible for killing the mining bill the first time has vowed to tie up the current bill in the courts.<br /><br />Now if one of you had money to invest in mining equipment how would you spend it?<br /><br />Remember, if you are against iron mining you are a hypocrite if you use metal.
