You are right on the money Hank. As possibly the most liberal guy on this thread let me say in my state the environmentalists are amazingly hypocritical. The environmentalists in my state are undermining their crdibility, so it becomes a matter of crying wolf. The envirnmentalists are not interested in environmetnally sound mining. They want no mining at all! It is like they cannot make the connection with all the metal they use and having awareness the metal comes out of the ground. Drives me nuts. We have to be logical. Of course if no controls are put on the industry, they will not be responsible and Lake Erie will catch fire again-lol. If our species cannot be resonable, logical, and truely live in a reality based community I do not see how we survive.

I agree with you that some environmentalists in the West have been too extreme, but in China there is NO environmental protection at the local levels at all! Some foreign as well as Chinese mining companies have caused plenty environmental hazard in Western/Southwestern region of China. The heavy pollution they left behind will take decades to clean up. Don't tell me you really believe in the so-called "self-regulation". Capitalists are capitalists. They will do any bad thing as long as they can get away with it! many foreign companies are big violators of Clean Water Act in China. Thanks for the documentary file, I will check it out.
