I still think it will happen if other deposits in the area are mined.
I still dont see why its not okay to disrupt a farming community bit...... but it is okay for Sudbury to disrupt its environs (forests, lakes) to a huge extent etc acid rain etc etc. Or why its ok to quarry rock disrupting mother nature. Or Coal strip mines. Or oil pipelines. or 16 lane highways. I assume you live with these things everyday.... what makes tambo grande so special that they can reap the benefits of factories producing oil and tractors elsewhere, but oh no, no development allowed there??
Hey there used to be nice farming communities in what is now downtown Toronto, downtown New York, downtown London also.... you lose something when you develop for sure, but gain something else.
I am not against development, I am against bad development, I fail to see how this development is worse than any other that occurs in the first world. It has a potential to increase agriculture through irrigation, increase living stds.Stop infant mortality, improved sanitation. Creating a middleclass and breaking the back of the local economic power elites.
If we here were faced with those conditions there, both you and I would be approving a mine.... real poverty, unlike what we see here, is pretty bad....
