Last week, I posted about Carey's call for the development of the Chuitna Coal mine. Please, some one out there try to explain to me how destroying a productive salmon stream and shipping dirty coal to China to help power their factories and put more Americans out of work is a good idea? If you think developing this mine is just totally whacked, please do attend DNR public hearing this Wednesday night, January 19, from 6-9 PM at the Challenger Learning Center. This will be the one and only opportunity you will have to let the powers know that this is just a lousy idea.
And Mayor Davey is also all about developing the Pebble Mine too. Once again, salmon be damned. Once again, let's destroy one of the last great ecosystems left on the planet so some multi-national mining company can make billions. Sometimes, it is not just all about the money.
