Your the one that doesn't get it.  We aren't trading fishing for mining---we can have both.  With today's safeguards and permitting there will be no risk to fishing .   Consider all the pollution caused by hundreds of fishing boats---or all the boats that have sunk from all our wars---that hasn't destroyed fishing.  Nor will one mine.  If there's a leak , it will be fixed many miles before it could do any damage.  Getting the former EPA to stop the project before it even had the chance for testing was insane.   As for Trump---if he did nothing more than name a conservative appointment to the court---that alone would be enough. Instead he's done so much more---like throttling the EPA and reversing Obama's lock-up of Alaska . His plan to open the King Cove road putting human's lives ahead of birds was great. Our state needs jobs and Trump's proposed increase in military spending will be a great help to Alaska as well.  Who's side are you on ? Clearly not the people of Alaska's .
