So, what do you think will happen if they start mining this land in Northern Maine? It will benefit the wealthy who don’t have to live by the mine, who can conduct their business far away from the site, while it poisons the people who cannot move away from it by contamination of the water and air. That’s what happens. This isn’t going into Cape Elizabeth, it would be going into Aroostook county where the median income is $24k a year.

So, I don’t see what the argument is here. It’s another mine that would go into a poorer community and ultimately poison the resources there. You are not standing up for the “little people” by advocating for mining this material. All that’s going to happen is some CEO in another state will add to their wealth while the people in Maine suffer the consequences to their land.
