#Copper and Gold #Mining, and #Coal-Fired Power Plants, Resulted in Cancer for Navajo, Apache, and Western #Shoshone

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, September 4, 2023

"A copper smelter poisoning the air of Apaches, the coal-fired power plants on the #NavajoNation, and gold mining on Western Shoshone land, are among the top causes of cancer from #AirPollution in the United States, according to a new report, Poison in the Air, by #ProPublica.

"The #FreeportMcMoran copper smelter in #MiamiArizona -- located between the #SanCarlos #ApacheNation, and Apaches Sacred #OakFlat -- is the third in the United States for producing toxic air pollution causing cancer. The poison air means the central Arizona community of Miami has ten times the EPA's acceptable risk of cancer. Apaches are now in federal court battling both the mining industry, and the #BidenAdministration to stop another #CopperMine nearby at Oak Flat which would destroy their ceremonial place."

"There are three kinds of pipe. There's what you have, which is garbage - and you can see where that's gotten you. There's bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then, there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money."

#Copper #Plumbing #Moonstruck

Meanwhile in Germany, Aurubis (Europe's largest #copper producer) has found 'massive' shortfalls in stock (against its records) leading the firm to suspect it has been subject to a major theft.

The #metals sector is increasingly looking like it needs to keep a better eye on its assets; you'll recall a few months ago, supposed bags of nickel were found on inspection to contain stones (a fraud perpetrated on Trafigura).

This makes stealing copper wire from railways look like hobby-criminality!

The insistence on business as usual but electrified instead of #degrowth is coming for public lands near you.

"The current land rush mirrors the late 1800s ... that legacy lives on in the form of tainted water and torn-up landscapes. Only this time, they’re going after more than gold and silver; they also want the so-called “green metals” — the #lithium, #cobalt, #copper and rare earth elements #REE used in electric vehicles and other clean energy applications."

#idw #archaeology Tombs rich in artifacts discovered by #Swedish expedition in #Cyprus

An archaeological expedition from the University of Gothenburg recently discovered tombs outside the #BronzeAge trading metropolis #HalaSultanTekke in Cyprus. They rank among the richest ever found in the #Mediterranean region. The precious tomb artefacts indicate that their occupants ruled the city, which was a centre for the #copper trade in the period 1500–1300 BCE. https://idw-online.de/en/news818857

Among the #green #metals, #copper has the widest range of end markets, including EVs, wind and #solarpower and #energy storage.

#Green metals — #aluminum, #copper, #nickel, #lithium, and
#cobalt — are poised to benefit from the trend throughout the decade and likely beyond.

#Research #Breakthrough

Today for the first time I got to go deep into a copper mine. I'm in the #up in #michigan, specifically Keweenaw - which is serious copper country.

I got to see the entire history of the Quincy Mine from when it started operation in 1846 to when it closed in 1945.

Talk about a deep window into american industrialization. Huge steam engines, dangerous working conditions, and enormous effort.
