There is discussion again about the Pebble Mine in Alaska. That was recently decided by the Obama Administration’s EPA. Nothing has changed that would dictate any change.
The Pebble Mine is in a sensitive area that has direct impact on the salmon fisheries. Those fisheries are vital to this country. Any reengagement of putting mining interests over that of the fisheries is corruption and the USA can not afford to lose this Alaskan fishery. The Pacific fisheries off Southern California are chronically over fished during Republican Administrations in DC and collapse as well.
