Greetings Neboned, 

Your faith in the Pebble Partnership and in its designs is either seriously misplaced or delusional especially in the face of the Mt. Polly videos I posted. Nor has any developed, worldwide mining project been compatible with a robust fishing industry; it always destroys it. 

The standard of protecting Bristol Bay should not be judged by mere decades (which the Mt Polly Mine didn't meet), but in the equivalency of the native peoples who have lived there and been dependent upon a subsistence lifestyle and culture of thousands of years. Designing and maintaining such a complex has never been done. 

Ripping gold and other metals out from the guts of the earth with its inherent contamination flies in the face of a healthy native subsistence lifestyle and culture, a sustainable fishing industry (both commercial and recreational), the tourism industry, clean water and an uncontaminated landscape. 

To put it bluntly, its not worth it.
