thats fvcking disgusting. if this is the practice, they should be nationalized.

I have always argued for nationalization of all industries that refuse to change their operations to protect global and local Environments

You would then have to argue that local mining corporation and nationalized industries are better for the environment than foreign mining companies in 3rd world countries. I don't think that is a obviously correct point. My understanding is that cottage mining (mostly of gold) is absolutely horrendous as there are no Safety and Environmental regulations. For national project I would assume a problem of finding the technical skill and technology, something that multinational firms have in buckets but might be difficult to find in an undeveloped domestic mining sector.

It’s not that. The company hires the lowest cost group to do the job. That group does all the dirty. I mean they should be held accountable, but we the people don’t really care. One bullshit marketing campaign and we turn are heads like sheep. Carbon footprint anyone?

No we just get tricked easy and reporters really don’t put the time into story’s they used to. For all I know they mine nuclear stuff easy with out much risk. A mask and some ear eye protection around the dust, with a shower you would be fine. Still we know other industries do what ever it takes.

People are all for helping out 3rd world counties as long is it costs them nothing. Once told their electric rates would have to go up 10% they turn a blind eye.
