MINING is NOT a partisan issue ➡️U.S. dependence on mineral imports is a national security issue ➡️Climate change action depends on an exponential increase in mined minerals ➡️Decade-long permitting and endless litigation drive investment, jobs, and revenue overseas #demdebate

The notoriously anti-mining group, EarthWorks, commissioned a study which found that ambitious climate goals, including the Paris Climate Accord, are driving demand for new #mining. google.com/amp/s/phys.org/ne… #climatechange #ParisAgreement
Plenty of chatter about #climatechange and #renewableenergy tonight in the #demdebate. But NO mention of #mining or the #criticalminerals required to develop 'green' #energy, technologies.

A 2018 study released by Tourism and Recreation Research at UM found that "visitor spending" supported $1.1 billion in labor income, the SAME AMOUNT as Montana's mining industry; but "tourism" jobs pay an average of just $19,000/yr, compared to $89,000/yr for #mining jobs!
