Obama and the mining industry.
Reading the comments about Obama's stance on the proposed mining legislation made me wonder how many people have actually read the 1872 law and amendments AND understand the very real risks and uncertainties that characterize hard rock mining. As a committed environmentalist I support reforming the 1872 law but have to give Obama credit for taking what I interpret to be a reflective position rather than one that is "politically correct" from a green point of view but basically knee-jerk.
