I read that many, too many are naive.  Why be selfish to great opportunities for the future generations, why not remove the blinkers and try to weigh properly the benefits.  I totally agree that opposition should and must voice their opinion, this will ensure that the project is done properly with all safeguards in place and the salmon fisheries protected. The vocal opposition should always be the watchdog, but should never prevent a modern and well run mine from giving its citizens, especially the young who may have to leave their state to make a proper living an opportunity to have a good job at home.
