If they can get past the tree hugers to mine it.

Thanks JAP. Valid point but DOGE can find where the tree huggers are deriving their funding and if from NGO's that rely on government funds, stop that funding. I absolutely love trees and wish nationwide we could replant seedlings in the forested areas that have been razed. However we've experienced what obama and biden have done to kill the economy. I think a compromise can be brought about to mine it.

Wasn't there supposed to be tons of it in NC, but the people living above it didn't want to sell their homes and property to the mining companies? So then Hurricane Helene "happened" and destroyed everything they owned. I hope we don't have a replay of that.

Thanks Grwurston. My mind went to that hurricane which zigzagged through Georgia toward Augusta then went into NC wiping out everything in that NC area. I guess my tinfoil had was wrinkled when considering the possibility that such a weather anomaly just 'happened.'

They've been doing it for decades.

For whatever it may mean, that hurricane did not 'feel' natural to me.

Oh yeah, this plot is thickening.

Thanks Sully. I hope they're able to mine it so we're not dependent on a foreign source. Also hope they get to the bottom of that hurricane ... was beyond weird.
