There has been much written about the Pebble mine but most people on the east coast do not know much about Alaska.
Like many issues, there are those that say this will be a blessing for the Alaskans. There will be new jobs, etc.
Keep in mind that the mining industry around the world has created some of the worst disasters we have ever seen. What typically has happened is that the owner of the mine decides that things are not going well and closes the doors or declares bankruptcy. What happens then is that the local people and the taxpayers end up paying for clean up.
Make up your own mind.
Read and see what the owners, Northern Dynasty Mines Inc. say:
