[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 469585, member: 983"] If you think this can be bonded and cost covered in 50 years, you need to go look up the list of federal superfund sites. Then do a search of abandoned oil and gas wells, particularly outside of ND. All of these messes were started with big talk of jobs and low impact. Some even had big money tied up to cover costs. And they all now cost us huge sums of money to cleanup and to try to reduce (never eliminate) ongoing pollution. We have to wake up in our rural states. These big economic drivers like data centers and things like this plant are here because we’re dumb enough to get steamrolled. And our states are craving development without much for guardrails. They’re here to dump a shithole in you back yard or use up all the excess power we have. I understand these plants have to go somewhere and NIMBY can seriously alter progress that is needed. But we don’t need pig iron here and we don’t need a bunch of data centers either. Employment is still robust. Growth comes with costs no matter what but this one in particular stinks. [/QUOTE]
