Pebble is a really bad idea perpetrated by sleazey companies getting a deal by being foreign thereby lowering their liabilities and insurance requirements. Further it would entail killing off some of the most incredible big rainbow trout fishing in the world.
Building the biggest dam in the world from dirt on a sponge and literally dewatering to a depth of 3500' to "make" it stick is absurd.
So resource extraction is a wonderful thing but not at any cost or peril. In spades ^ I'm pro development, but always with a risk/cost ratio figured in. Pebble doesn't pencil out well from my angle.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I will add that the entire fiasco has been a reminder of how incredibly inept our governments are at the state and national level at every point in this process.
Suck bullets simply suck.
