Fantasy

Mining mechanic. UG OP 3X Red Seal. Mine Rescue. CAF Vet. From the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan to the bitter cold of the Yukon. Mining 40 yrs. retired.


The initial capital expense of building a mine is high. All the low-hanging fruit has been mined. Companies have to go further afield to find deposits. The deposits now being mined are getting older, the metallurgy is more complex and grades are going down. In 2000 it cost $4,000-5,000 on average to build the infrastructure to produce a ton of copper. Today, building a new copper mine can cost up to $44,000 per ton of production. Building a clean, affordable, and reliable electricity grid is neither clean, affordable nor reliable. Stop believing the stupid. Net Zero is a fantasy pushed to steal your money and enrich the few.
As a miner for 40 years I have worked in various mines around the world. Gold, platinum, copper, coal, lead, zinc, oil and salt. I'm going to tell you something, and here it is. We will destroy the earth in the name of "Green Energy" Follow along and I will explain.
