So, young people, when you are about to pop the big question, if your intended doesn’t say yes, Polymet will. However, if you have any other big questions for Polymet, you’ll just have to wait, they haven’t been real big on answering really important life’s questions. If you have a lot of money it’s easy to be superficially “image perfect” and appear to say something, while NOT. Oh yes Polymet, by all means, GO POLYMET GO!<\/p>\n

Life’s Big Questions for Polymet<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is more important Health or Wealth?<\/p>\n

Will Glencore \u00a0be financially responsible for any liabilities incurred in your copper mining efforts in Northeastern Minnesota?<\/p>\n

If you know how to \u201cdo it right\u201d what has taken you so long?\u00a0 Failed DEIS in 2009, 2200 page modified DEIS today, why can\u2019t you get that right?<\/p>\n

2200 page DEIS and only 90 day citizen comment period?\u00a0 What are you hiding in all the paperwork?<\/p>\n

If R.O., reverse osmosis, is too difficult and costly for Mesabi Nugget in iron country what makes your R.O. so special in a larger volume situation and more chemically complex pollutant stream?<\/p>\n

Since you think you know \u201chow to do it right this time\u201d\u2026 Why haven’t you already done this successfully somewhere?<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t you propose a permitting situation where you will not ask for any variances, NONE, from the MPCA or EPA\u2026ever during the life of mine?<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t you go to a third world county and prove yourself, then come back and mine in WI under the \u201cWe\u2019ve Proven It First\u201d banner?<\/p>\n

Please folks we are about to be\u00a0bamboozled by the mining companies and their co-horts in government…ask your questions loudly and \u00a0publicly. \u00a0Send your questions for Polymet and we will make sure that Polymet, the DNR, the USFS, and our Congresspersons get copies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks, \u00a0we are making headway in shinning light on the severe problems with Sulfide Mining in our region. \u00a0But, we must do more. \u00a0The mining companies have extra money to throw at this and a lot of our taxpayer dollars are being used against the best interests of our region. \u00a0Let your voice be heard somehow, somewhere.<\/p>\n
