But unfortunately, the mining industry has a long history of environmental issues, such as the metal mining at Butte, Montana for example, or Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, where lots of damage was done. That being the case, it is going to take many years of good stewardship before mining and oil companies will be able to convince the public that they are sincerely interested in minimizing environmental impacts and that they are able to perform mining without the major problems that have plagued us in the past.CWCarriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127234312904842810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347453000238686502.post-88830077084529465582011-11-26T05:52:05.574-08:002011-11-26T05:52:05.574-08:00Wonderful post.

The mines and mining companies I've interacted with have always been very sensitive to the environment and communities.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097541679218959806noreply@blogger.com
