That is the question before the state of Alaska in regards to the Pebble Mine Project.  I have written about this issue once before and I am appalled that the threat still exists.  The issue is the area of the Pebble Mine in Alaska and whether the citizens of Alaska are going to allow an amazingly beautiful lake, watershed and wilderness be turned into a hard rock mine for Gold.

Do we really need more gold in this world?

Please read the following article about the situation.
