Mining Beryllium
Last night our town hosted a meeting to take input from the community
about issuing a mining permit for beryllium. A company called BE
Resources wishes to dig some exploratory bore holes in our nearby
farming community of Monticello. I was surprised how prepared the
mining company was. They totally dominated the first 2+ hours with
hired experts from AMEC. AMEC sells expertise about environmental
issues, but really appears to be a "yes man" for big business to do
whatever they like. It was rather disconcerting to hear geologists,
hydrologists and so many other scientists refer to mining beryllium as
being a zero risk venture.
