    You had me til brown person. Not quite sure what you mean, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that it wasn’t meant as bigotry.

    The whole libertarian movement smacks of the big brain thinking of entitled people in their 20s, and Joe Rogan’s fan club.

    It paints with the same broad strokes as communism and like it, fails to acknowledge the real world outcomes: only the ideology matters, and adherence to it. Ignore or prosecute those who don’t implement it as intended or under the guiding assumptions.






























  • I find mining very interesting, especially the reclamation aspect. There are tons of issues to get things back to chemically and physically stable.

    The mine shown here is the Ekati Mine in NWT Canada. It’s set to close in 2029. All mines must have a plan for closure, and these plans, at least in NWT are public.

    Here is the one for Ekati. https://registry.mvlwb.ca/Documents/W2020L2-0004/Ekati - CRP Version 3.1 - Part 1 - Aug 15_23.pdf

    Closure plans are super long: the summary text is often 200 to 300 pages, and with the associated appendices are like 1-3k pages in length and are highly technical

    Fortunately, Section 1 (page 49) has a plain language summary of the closure plan. Here you can find a summary of major closure strategies for things like pits and waste rock dumps

    These plans get more and more certain as they revise them and approach the end of operations.

    Fill your boots! There is some cool stuff in the closure plan if you’re inclined to learn more!
