[QUOTE="Allen, post: 469536, member: 389"] 1. I doubt the ability of the company to put in place a bond large enough to clean this place up in 20-50 years, they just don't have that much cash. There will most likely be a token bond for cleanup, but it will at most be 10-20% of the actual cost, which means the taxpayers will inherit the bill at some point in time. 2. As far as jobs go. A person should only need one, ND already has very low unemployment compared to the rest of the country. That means we will need to import more people from shitholes that don't like the way things are in ND. In essence, we will be diluting what most of us like about ND the most. It SHOULD be cheaper to lay a natural gas pipeline from ND to Minnesota (where the ore comes from), but when they consider the regulatory cost Minnesota would extract, it all of a sudden becomes cheaper to rail ship the ore to ND for processing. There probably shouldn't be such a huge disparity in the regulatory environment. If I had to guess, I'd say Minnesota's is out of control, and North Dakota's is lacking control. [/QUOTE]
