Electric cars are "so green" man.....look at how green they turn the landscape....oh wait, they turn green landscapes the opposite of green.

P.S. I'm pro-industry & pro-mining....in most cases. The BWCA is already a much bigger industry and it's not short term, compared to what the proposed copper-nickel-sulfide mining.

I don't have a hard opinion one way or the other in regards to MN mining. I've been fishing and recreating in Cuyuna SRA since I was six....so well before it was even the state park it essentially is.....

So mining was pretty fukcing sweet for the environment in the case of creating the number one mountain biking attraction in the world....

....but I realize sulfide mining is different and has a much worse track record....so not trying to rile anyone up on the issue.

I simply enjoy the irony being pointed out too....
