Pebble Mine Update

[Irrelevant]

But now, in a new court filing, Pebble’s developer says just a tiny number of salmon are blocking the mine’s construction — 27 fish, to be exact, and all one species.

Federal regulators, who halted the project in 2023, are “preserving” 27 coho salmon “at the cost of $800 billion” in minerals, lawyers for Pebble Limited Partnership wrote in a recent brief filed in Alaska’s federal district court.

Such complete bullshit could only surface with this administration. This king my wife caught and others like it are in the path as well, millions of all five species of pacific salmon but mainly sockeye, (reds) are in the path. Now that I’ve had my coffee that king was from 6 years ago, we’ve not killed any since then. I clearly need another cup of coffee. All y all have a great day!

I’m assuming you didn’t read the article…the developer is suing because the current administration continues to block the project in the same manor as the previous administration.

Of course not I hadn’t’ had my coffee yet. A simple knee jerk reaction due to a lack of information and recent prejudice against this administration and anything to do with fish and water. Now, of course, I’ll have to read the article. I am guilty of running my mouth, so to speak, before engaging my brain.
I still won’t kill Kings. Silvers (coho) and Sockeye (reds) yes, depending on watershed. I don’t kill or eat chum (dog) or Pinks (stinky). They are fun to catch however. Apparently i need more coffee as I am in a bit of a funk this morning.

you gotta admit, i'd almost assume pigs would be flying before i ever read a sentence like this: "It responds to a move by the Trump administration earlier this year to defend the Biden-era project veto."

If they would pay how much they are spending to make me stop robbing them, I would stop robbing them.

I think Trump blocked the permit late in first term. I have been watching closely to see it get approved because it seems like something that is low-hanging fruit for how the 2nd Admin wants to operate. I assume they are waiting for the various lawsuits to play out. Or, as has been suggested, they are waiting for a check...
