So what does is a " good paying" job men when you no longer have clean, water to drink, clean soil to farm in or clean air to breath. Copper mining is none of the above. The GOP, is signing your life away because after all, they are, the Party of Death. Let's make sure Stauber gets all his future drinking water from the copper mining catch basins!

Bipartisan coll apse on this vote shows how fragile consensus really is when extraction economics meet wilderness. The CRA precedent here is wild because once you establish that mineral access trumps conservation designations, nowhere is truly protected anymore. Saw this same logic play out with endangered species buffer zones in the Rockies and its basically regulatory erosion by a thousand cuts.
