For your viewing entertainment. Obviously this excludes the Canadian oil sands which technically is a form of mining.

Quote:Dangers of Oil Refineries to Workers and Nearby Residents
Oil refineries house combustible chemicals. They must store these chemicals properly. Otherwise, refinery chemicals can cause fires and explosions that result in accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
Also, some refinery chemicals are highly acidic. They should not come into contact with the skin.
Refineries can release benzene, xylene, and other hazardous chemicals. These chemicals can cause serious breathing issues and other chronic health problems if inhaled.
Moreover, refineries are leading sources of nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide. These pollutants can endanger refinery workers and the environment.
Refineries are responsible for providing workers with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). They must operate per federal, state, and local health and safety requirements.

That’s the Escondida copper mine in northern Chile. No lithium there. I makes for a great story though.

Well heck, you guys have convinced me with your novel and well informed arguments. Obviously it's a hoax. All the pointy heads agree only because they are colluding to ruin our economy and reduce our sperm count! Before my epiphany I figured agreement was because they had the right answer. Sure is a lot less worrisome now that I am back on track. All that "science" was taxing my little pea brain.![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif "scratchead")

wow, what I realy want to know is not the range it can tow at capacity but how far can it go with 2000lbs in the box. might be a nice setup for a small camper.
a buddy of mine finaly got his last month and absolutly loves it. I'll admidt its kinda neat, but for me it would have to be able to get a decient range with 2000lbs in the back to work for me right now, but I would still need my F350 for towing the 5th. when a electric can get 500 miles towing 14000 lbs then I will trade in my F350.

Who knows. But copper mines are not going away even if people don’t like the looks of them. Society uses a LOT of copper. We have a bunch of mines in our province and there is more coming.
Jmho.
