Unfortunately, while the differences are large, the fundamental issue remains...
at least IMHO...
some of these tree huggers will fight any and I mean ANY form of utilization of natural resources. I honestly do not think they will be happy to we are back in hunter-gatherer stone age mode.
I am all for environemntal responsibility. don't get me wrong. And it may cost a bit more, but i believe most resources can be obtained in an environmentally responsible fashion...with appropriate oversight from the government.
When the governments 'oversight' results in killing a project due to not calculating in the emissions of one extra ice breaking vessel...i mean, you have to be kidding me.... but they are halting oil drilling based on the emissions of one boat???? I don't care how big it is, unless the prevailign winds always blow to this town of 245 people, i don't think one boat makes a big difference....please someone correct me if i'm wrong...
but back to my point. These militant granola-eating tree-fhuggers will oppose anything on any grounds....and they are somehow winding their way into influential positions throughout North America.
I agree it is cause for alarm from those of us who do NOT want to see the united states and canada reduced to third world status, sitting on trillions in assets we will not permit ourselves to use.
If this keeps up, we better all learn mandarin. And I seriously doubt the chinese government will worry about salmon breeding grounds.
This poster's news reference is valid as it illustrates the kind of people who LBSR and NAK are up aagainst. Forewarned is forearmed.
