Anglo American pulls out of Pebble Mine! What does that mean? Basically, Anglo American, the company with the deep pockets is bailing out of the project because the proposed mine is "too risky". Ya think? You think putting the world's largest open pit mine at the headwaters of the world's largest wild salmon run is too risky? I'm glad they finally see it my way. And the way of 654,000 other folks who signed the EPA comment petition to protect the Bristol Bay Watershed. (http://www.savebristolbay.org/blog/sportsmen-to-epa-stop-pebble).
Anyway, you can read all about it right here: http://www.adn.com/2013/09/16/3077905/anglo-american-pulls-out-of-alaskas.html or here: http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20130916/anglo-american-withdraws-pebble-mine-project.
Looks like if enough of us little folk speak loud enough, we can make a difference! Good job everyone who helped make a stink about all this! Lets just hope this is the beginning of the end. And what would I have to say to Pebble Mine? Just what the skipper of the Bristol Bay gillnetter Licka-D-Split would say, "Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you".
