Unreal !!

......the greed and selfishness continues to grow

We have great technologies that allow us to develop and utilize our natural resources without causing much impact on the environment. I think opening up these opportunities to do so are positive steps in strengthening this country. The more we produce within our own nation the better off we are. We have lost so much of our industry that its going to have negative impacts in the future.

No protected land is safe Anwr is getting opened up so may as well open up drilling both the east and west cost The U.S. oil producers sell more of the oil produced here than we keep here and use As Trump said on the tv come buy here we have more than we need.

By removing restrictions on private land?

Is exporting American products a bad thing? Ive always understood it to be a good thing.

Restrict everything and strangle our own selves sure doesn't make alot of sense unless the weakening of the USA is your goal

I suppose we should just keep all that light crude that we have no way to refine and therefore no use for, lol.

Everyone on here howls about AMERICA FIRST and how we need to produce and manufacture things here again, right up UNTIL we take the steps required to do so, and then it's Not in MY Backyard.

Which is it, folks? Should we mine and utilize the natural resources available in our country, or would you prefer we remain reliant on foreign imports?

Capitalism bad..... Biden-enacted laws good.... you people are crazy LOL.

Drill baby drill
Back to filthy environments of the 70s with rivers on fire,and a love canal in everyones neighborhood.
A boom for the big money pharmaceutical companys hawking cancer drugs,and a bonus for govt to get rid of old age drain on society.

Do u think things are still done the way it was in the 70s

MAFA

This is a mine….i do understand that refining operations produce waste.

The 70s were a results from the refining of crude oil into consumer products.

Well said

16% of Canada's gdp comes from developing their natural resources yet boco gets on here and acts like its a bad thing. I dont understand it..

Maybe both of us dont get it

FWIW, The BWCAW is NOT private land.
Are you familiar with mining enterprises, on site AND offsite environmental issues ??
Too many "living room/armchair" pro mining people talking smart until it's in their neighborhood.

Mining is huge in this area.My son is a miner.Lots of good from mining.Also a few nightmares.
Lots of places need to be set aside from hard industry like mining and clearcut logging.I would say boundary water area is one of them,also wildlife refuges(where hunting and trapping are compatible,no need to restrict that,in fact wildlife management is essential to the health of such areas),there are more important things than money.
That fact is lost (or to use your own vernacular, over your head) on a lot of people who are slaves to the dollar.

I’ve actually always been a proponent of hoarding and not using as much non-renewable resources as possible! Enough to appease and aid the rest of the world to a point but keep as much as possible home. I really think transporting product back and forth across the globe when the destination area also produces the same product…..is just goofy. I know….im just goofy!

It’s a tough balance to figure out who to trust to procure mostly necessary resources. We all know, many of these companies and the employees DO NOT really give a darn about ANYTHING except……profits.

Happy trapping! ScottW

Only know about gravel mining with a little bit of gold experience around Victor.
Please educate me.

The mine is not in the park according to the article. Possible ,,,I read it wrong

Dont talk behind peoples back,like a gossiping old woman,say it straight.
