We have a lot of those metals here in Alaska but aren't allowed to mine them thanks to the Dems in DC.
Welp, time to fucking open it up. Trust me, I'm an Aggie with a degree in Natural Resource Management. Yes the artic is a fragile ecosystem but no, the artic ecosystem is not more important to me than independence from bad faith actors (China/Khasakstan/Ghan/Bolivia/etc)
There is a balance, we found it when we were just dumping oil sludge in rivers. The prairies, which are a similar ecosystem survived. We can do the same in the artic while NOT dumping shit. I wish the eco freaks understood that.
