always interesting.
I have been to Russia a few times and their economies of being are improving from the inefficiencies of just a few years ago (by the way, concerning Russian titanium, Boeing bought into one of the largest titanium mines in Russia some years back...the Russians are aware of foreign markets).
one interesting thing I saw was when the TV was available the Russians were fascinated with commercials...the Russian middle (consumer) class is morphing beyond the embryo stage (along with every other country possessing considerable foreign reserves). the increased natural resources supporting all this will cause your Google 'world' view to resemble a moon shot in a few years.
**at least the pivo & food are excellent, the women fashionable & thin...they aren't too screwed up yet.

Mining isn't a big threat to the environment compared with deforestation, human colonization of every habitat, and exploitation of the oceans. I'm not concerned about mining.

EC/OT

" But 10,000 open pit mines 1 mile by 1/2 mile are only collectively 5,000 square miles and Connecticut is 5,500 square miles. OK, you would have to park the chevs in New Jersey, they probably are mostly there anyway."

I can testify to the fact that you're dead wrong. Those chevs are NOT in NJ. With the extra 500sm, they are in CT....all in the Bristol Metro area, which , for reasons the outsider wouldn't know nor care, is why my RE tax is so low. Lot's of '58 Impalas...silver blue the fav. color.

you very funny man.

"I mean if you took every mine in the world ever mined you could probably put them in Connecticut and have room left over to park all the Chevrolets ever made.."

National Mining Association says less than 1/4 of 1% of the land mass of USA has ever been disturbed by mining or related activities.
