Northern Wisconsin needs an Open Pit mine

I am sure this would be a good idea: An open pit mine in Northern Wisconsin. I am sure that the company running this operation will do a better job protecting the environment, than, say, those dirty coal companies in Appalachia:

" The company is a subsidiary of the Cline Group, which controls large coal reserves in Illinois and parts of the Appalachian region."

Oh, well. Fortunately, there aren't any sensitive rivers in the area.

"The Penokee Range is the headwaters for the Bad River, including Copper Falls State Park, and Lake Superior’s Chequamegon Bay, said Matt Dallman, director of conservation in northern Wisconsin for the Nature Conservancy."

I am sure that everything a coal company tells us about the environment will be on the up and up, so I don't foresee any environmental problems with the project.
