The Pebble Mine

The Pebble Mine discussion is a heated topic that has no immediate solution in sight. It seems to me that both sides are sticking to their guns and will not reach any compromise. I can see both sides of the argument and some cases where the mine would benefit Alaska's residents, but I can also tell that there will be animosity and negative consequences (possible pollution, damage to the people living in the area, damage to wildlife...)that will ensue if the mine comes to be. It is difficult to trust any one source on this topic because there is always a bias. Whether or not the Pebble mine is created there will always be an opposition, so it seems senseless to me to engage in the argument.
