| | Trump’s drive to boost domestic mining stokes long-running debate near BWCA |
As President Donald Trump lifts “undue burdens” on U.S. mines, the shift in the federal posture could boost long-simmering projects in northern Minnesota. New mines have taken more urgency in recent years, to help build electric vehicles, solar panels and other technologies needed to power a carbon-free energy transition. This kind of mining would be new to Minnesota, and some worry about the risks of pollution near the prized watershed. | |
