Here is a resolution against copper-nickel (sulfide) mining. This was emailed to me from Lori Andresen. I think it works. RESOLUTION WHEREAS sulfide ore mining results in polluted run-off from mine pits and mine wastes for at least 500 years, if not forever; WHEREAS sulfide ore mining has never been done in a water rich environment without polluting surface and/or groundwater; WHEREAS sulfide ore mining has created taxpayer liabilities across the country when mining companies go bankrupt, leaving pollution behind; and WHEREAS there is no assurance that Minnesota taxpayers will be protected from long term costs of sulfide-ore mining; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the ___________ party finds that sulfide ore mining is significantly different from taconite mining, has unacceptable environmental impacts and should not be allowed in the sulfur-bearing Duluth Complex from the Boundary Waters to and beyond Lake Superior.
