No matter what Pebble mine promoters say, a huge open pit gold/copper mine and its pollution potential is a poisonous threat to the long term future of Bristol Bay. When Governor Jay Hammond heard about the Pebble mine, he said the only worse place for such a mine would be in his kitchen. Pebble mine promises some people's idea of glittery economic glory for fifty years. I'm 66 years old, and I can tell you, fifty years is the blink of an eye. On the other hand, a healthy Bristol Bay will produce gourmet food for untold centuries into the future, just as it has for the last 11,000 years of human habitation. Can you believe that this is even up for discussion?
