BIG News on Pebble Mine
I am constantly reminded of how limited a reach our industry has and the Pebble Mine issue is a great example. I regularly attend fundraising events inside and outside our industry and I am amazed at how many people are unaware of what Pebble Mine was potentially going to be. That said, very recently the Anglo American group, which was a 50% backer of this venture in the Pebble Partnership, decided to withdraw its support for the mine, which should be a near fatal blow and allow the political space for the EPA to rule against it in perpetuity, at least we hope. Read the story here in the Alaska Dispatch.
