I'm inclined to think you know your not telling the truth, oil exploration is increasing, " drill baby drill" on the North Slope. | |||

There may be individual counties in Texas that produce more crude than Alaska in the near future. Mike | |||

Maybe, I think North Dakota produces more oil than AK also. Regardless, there is increasing exploration, " drill baby drill" in AK.Your insinuation wasn't true. I certainly can see low cost oil killing our very expensive production. | |||

The proposed Pebble Mine sits at the headwaters of the Koktuli River. A few years ago I did a weeklong float trip on the Koktuli. Any of the politicians who think the mine is a good idea should float that river. Few or none would come away with their ideas intact. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time."

Thanks Forrest, once the wilderness and Salmon spawning streams are gone. No amount of money will bring them back Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

I hunted Lake Iliamna for a week and have never seen more beautiful country. The head waters of that lake is where they want to mine. I will never understand why anyone would want to destroy all that for dollars, then leave it ravaged for nature to try to restore all that it is. The dollars would go out of country at that. Good shooting. phurley | |||

The draft EIS is out with comments accepted until 7/1.There are some serious holes in the EIS, such as what happens to a 60 story earthen dam in a seismic zone such as this. NO MENTION! Not acceptable. | |||

Have you ever seen the Valdez Creek mine. Its a huge hole in the earth and Alaska survived just great and was greatly benefited from it. Those opposed to the Pebble are either getting money from the gubmint or as entertainers of the rich or well off. . The other ones are commercial fishermen. Ya know, the ones that are depleting our resources that can be be irreparably depleted. But hey, they mostly vote liberal/progressive so there ya have er. People need to work for real wages like miners make. But the progressives think they need the money and mostly prestige. Any way if the miners really want to mine the Pebble. They will do whatever needed to have their mine. Maybe they have more intestinal fortitude than the spineless pieces of scrap that were in charge of the timber industry in Southeast Alaska.

Lucky to come out of that lesson alive, I decided to look for a more suitable rifle." | |||

Alaskan's need the money from the Pebble. Maybe retired government employees don't. But the working people of Alaska do. Phil Shoemaker : "I went to a .30-06 on a fine old Mauser action.

The working people who care more about money than leaving a healthy and viable wilderness with wild game for any future generations Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

All the areas the were previously mined during the gold rush. With no protections back then. Do not hold any game. | |||

Check the value of the Bristol Bay salmon fishery. Slot of Alaskan are making a lot of money from a renewable resource. A very healthy and renewable resource. The idiot above that think commercial fishermen are harming this fishery d9esnt know what he's talking about. | |||

The VAST, VAST, majority of that goes to Seattle based fishermen and processors (90%+ of the $$) who don't give a single damn about Alaska or fisheries sustainability. They'd catch every single last one of them if they had their way and then move one to exploit another area to make payments on their condo in Hilo. Opposition to that colonial exploitation model was one of the main impetuses for statehood. DRSS "If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?" "PS. To add a bit of Pappasonian philosophy: this single barrel stuff is just a passing fad. Bolt actions and single shots will fade away as did disco, the hula hoop, and bell-bottomed pants. Doubles will rule the world!" | |||

Quite a bit of Dillingham and my region is involved in the fishery, myself included. It's just stupid to suggest the commercial fishery would like to wipe itself out. Duck hunters conserve the ducks, farmers conserve the land, fishermen happily conserve their fishery. Noone wants no salmon to chase next year or any other. Regardless that idiotic insinuation, the fishery has been demonstrably well managed. Look at the numbers. The fish are very valuable. | |||

What a tragedy it would be to see the Bristol Bay fishery damaged and Pebble turn into yet another Superfund site after the developers squeezed all the juice out of the grape and walked away from their mess, as has been the case over and over and over in the Lower 48. https://www.epa.gov/superfund/...nds-site-information There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I completely agree. The Captain Jack Superfund sight is less than 3 miles from my house. The clean up efforts are footed by tax payers and will continue for years to come with mixed results. The pebble mine is just not a good idea. | |||
