Trump admin rejects massive Pebble Mine Project

Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge owner Brian Kraft, reacts to the Trump administration’s rejection of the Pebble Mine Project. 

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected Alaska’s bid to revive a proposed copper and gold mine that was blocked by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The justices did not comment in turning away the state’s attempt to sue the Biden administration directly in the high court over its desire to revive the proposed Pebble Mine in the state’s Bristol Bay region.

Alaska still can try to reverse the decision through the more typical process, starting in a lower court and appealing any unfavorable decisions to the Supreme Court.
