Two recent articles in The Salt Lake Tribune exemplified why we keep getting screwed by the 1872 Mining Law — without giving any solutions on how to solve the problems created by the 1872 Mining Law.
We do, however, have a solution to the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine’s huge pit: fill it with garbage.
Or do you think people would be more supportive of using garbage to cover the exposed lakebed of the Great Salt Lake to control dust?
