❤🌎As miners...WE DIG THE EARTH! We're #mining resources that are improving our environment worldwide. Right here in Montana, we produce copper, used heavily in electric vehicles, as well as talc and platinum group metals, all used in catalytic converters to reduce emissions.

MINING is NOT a partisan issue ➡️U.S. dependence on mineral imports is a national security issue ➡️Climate change action depends on an exponential increase in mined minerals ➡️Decade-long permitting and endless litigation drive investment, jobs, and revenue overseas #demdebate

The notoriously anti-mining group, EarthWorks, commissioned a study which found that ambitious climate goals, including the Paris Climate Accord, are driving demand for new #mining. google.com/amp/s/phys.org/ne… #climatechange #ParisAgreement
Plenty of chatter about #climatechange and #renewableenergy tonight in the #demdebate. But NO mention of #mining or the #criticalminerals required to develop 'green' #energy, technologies.

A 2018 study released by Tourism and Recreation Research at UM found that "visitor spending" supported $1.1 billion in labor income, the SAME AMOUNT as Montana's mining industry; but "tourism" jobs pay an average of just $19,000/yr, compared to $89,000/yr for #mining jobs!
