We have energy bills soaring. We have copper prices soaring. What metal do we use for transferring energy? We use copper.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just STOPPED a new copper mine from being developed. Andy by "new" I mean a mine that has been TRYING to open for nearly 2 decades. Every time it clears one hurdle another lawsuit is filed. Every time something is approved, something else is happens to create a delay.
So we are in an energy crisis, we need copper. These 2 companies have been working to develop this joint project for nearly 20 years. WTF can we do in this country anymore?

U.S. President Donald Trump has slammed an appeals court decision to temporarily block a land transfer needed by mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP to develop what is slated to become one of the country’s biggest copper mines.
In a post on social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump said the latest setback to Arizona’s Resolution Copper mine would impact thousands of jobs at a time when the world’s largest economy “quite simply, needs Copper — AND NOW!”
His comments came shortly after he met the chief executives of Rio Tinto and BHP at the White House, alongside Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
Two of the world’s largest mining firms, Rio Tinto and BHP have been trying to develop the Arizona copper project together for roughly two decades, but the procedures have been beset by legal issues.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday issued a temporary restraining order to prevent a land transfer while the court considers challenges that have been brought by opponents including the San Carlos Apache Tribe, which is seeking to block the project over religious, cultural and environmental reasons.
“It is so sad that Radical Left Activists can do this, and affect the lives of so many people. Those that fought it are Anti-American, and representing other Copper competitive Countries,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. . . . STORY CONTINUES AT LINK
