Of course Anglo American and Northern Dynasty have played it pretty close and not said what they will do. Some of their earlier statements were not good and now, no doubt they are reticent to put on paper what they will do.
It all boils down to these facts;
- Modern tailings facilities do fail.
- In the long term all tailings facilities will fail.
- And when they fail, the environment better be able to absorb the failure,
- Or all hell will break loose for fish and people.
We deserve more of our academics that these pusillanimous platitudes. We deserve more of the three thousand dollars of tax-payer money spent on getting their opinions. We deserve reporters who should quote only whole, grammatical sentences. And provide a decent, intelligent analysis of what was said and done.
