Biden Hurts Native Groups With Alaska Mining Limits.

President Biden's decision to limit mining in Alaska is negatively impacting Native groups and hindering the extraction of critical resources. The Red Dog Mine, which is currently the world's largest zinc mine and a significant economic driver for Alaska and Native communities, is set to close in 2031. This closure, along with declining oil, gas, and mineral production revenue, poses a fiscal challenge for Alaska's Native groups. While Biden promised to prioritize critical metals for his green initiative, the reliance on foreign countries for these resources may not be sustainable, as countries like China, Chile, and Indonesia have control over global supply chains for essential minerals.
