Imagine you own a coal mine in British Columbia. (Yes, governments in Canada are still approving new coal mines.)

Over the last three decades, you’ve made a bucket-load of money stripping the top off a mountain, and now you’re sitting on a pile of environmental liabilities that threaten to eat into your profits.

You have two choices. You could spend millions of dollars on a process known as reclamation, stabilizing hazardous waste and restoring the site to some semblance of its former ecological value, which is what you committed to when you opened the mine. 

Or, you could declare the mine to be in “care and maintenance,” a status that is accepted as standard by most jurisdictions, despite the fact that it lacks a formal legal definition.

The status has very little to do with actual care or maintenance. It might more accurately be described as “abandonment and neglect,” but that wouldn’t sound nearly as elegant. [...]

When people say all the conflicts and genocides are connected it's really not an exaggeration. The more I read about one is the more I've learned about others and the people in power play in our faces.

From the article -

The Biden administration recently re-imposed sanctions on Israeli businessman Dan Gertler over alleged massive corruption in the Democratic Republic of Congo's lucrative mining business. Journalist Franz Wild reports on his remarkable rise, and his alliance with former President Joseph Kabila which even saw him being appointed a Congolese diplomat.

Here Everything is Poison

Fall 2010

Cold winds carry lead-filled dust from a nearby slagheap, a hundred million tonnes of toxic tailings, and scatter it on clothes hanging from laundry lines, on open buckets of drinking water, on the dirt children play in, and on the feral dogs running down alleys in this former French army barracks housing about 250 displaced Roma men, women, and children.

💀 Block di Jack Dorsey sviluppa Chip per il Mining di Bitcoin: Entrata nel Mining?

💀 Lo sviluppo di un chip per il mining di Bitcoin da 3 nanometri da parte di Block, la società di Jack Dorsey, rappresenta un potenziale punto di svolta per l'industria mineraria di Bitcoin. Questo evento potrebbe portare all'ingresso di Block nel settore del mining, creando un proprio sistema di mining decentralizzato.

💀 Analisi:

💀 Aumento della concorrenza: L'ingresso di Block nel mining di Bitcoin potrebbe aumentare la concorrenza nel settore, potenzialmente abbassando le commissioni di mining e favorendo una maggiore decentralizzazione. 💀 Sviluppo di hardware efficiente: Il chip da 3 nanometri sviluppato da Block potrebbe migliorare l'efficienza energetica del mining di Bitcoin, riducendo l'impatto ambientale e i costi operativi. 💀 Potenziale per un sistema di mining decentralizzato: Se Block decidesse di creare un proprio sistema di mining decentralizzato, potrebbe contribuire a ridurre la centralizzazione del mining di Bitcoin e a rafforzare la sicurezza della rete.

💀 Azioni da intraprendere:

💀 Monitorare lo sviluppo di Block: È importante seguire gli sviluppi relativi al chip per il mining di Bitcoin di Block e alle sue potenziali implicazioni per il settore minerario. 💀 Supportare l'innovazione nel mining: La comunità Bitcoin dovrebbe incoraggiare l'innovazione nel settore minerario, promuovendo lo sviluppo di hardware più efficiente e di soluzioni di mining decentralizzate. 💀 Promuovere la sostenibilità: È fondamentale collaborare per trovare soluzioni di mining di Bitcoin sostenibili che riducano l'impatto ambientale e promuovano un uso responsabile dell'energia.

💀 Ricordiamoci però che Jack Dorsey, non più tardi di 4 anni fa, è colui che ha accettato i ricatti dei servizi segreti USA, per far censurare dalla sua piattaforma Twitter l'account del presidente Trump, ancora in carica. Ed inoltre, da come è emerso dai "Twitter Files", le collaborazioni con la CIA e con la FBI erano "di casa" e questi enti potevano decidere quale linea ideologica dovesse mantenere il social network, contribuendo alla discriminazione ed alla censura di una grande fetta di utenti. 💀 Nel 2016, la collaborazione tra Twitter ed i servizi di intelligence americani, hanno portato alla ribalta la fake news che vedeva i fantomatici hacker russi, aiutare Donald Trump a vincere le elezioni presidenziali. Questa vicenda è poi venuta alla luce quando Elon Musk ha aperto i server di Twitter, appena ne è diventato proprietario, a dei giornalisti indipendenti i quali scoprirono che i tanto nominati bot ed hacker russi non erano mai esistiti e quella era un operazione creata a tavolino dalla candidata Dem Hillary Clinton, per cercare di screditare il vincitore delle elezioni, nonché inquilino della Casa Bianca.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The B.C. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the province's mining permit system is unconstitutional.

The province's current system, at issue in the case, automatically grants mineral claims to industry applicants who submit a request through a government website.

Tuesday's ruling found that process violates First Nations rights.

It ordered B.C. to replace the system with one that ensures input and consultation with Indigenous communities on whose territories mining permits are granted.

"Establishing an online system allowing automatic registration of mineral claims in their territories, without creating a system for consultation, breaches the obligations of the Crown," wrote Justice Alan Ross in his 148-page decision. [...]

[plethoraworldatlas]

A small mountain community in the Peruvian Andes has won a victory that could echo across Latin America.

In a historic ruling, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has charged the Peruvian government with violating its people’s right to a healthy environment by allowing a century-old metal smelter to contaminate the community of La Oroya. In its scathing decision, the Court found that the government “was aware of these high levels of contamination” yet chose not to take appropriate actions to prevent it, “nor to provide care for persons who had acquired diseases” caused by the pollution.

La Oroya is perched over 12,000 feet high in the Andes along the banks of the River Mantaro – a river so polluted with lead and arsenic that one local called it “a dead river.” Huge swaths of the surrounding mountains have been cleaved for mining, and pollution from the smelter has killed much of the area’s vegetation. Yet generations of locals still live here, fighting to maintain their homes and health.

Since the smelter began operating in 1922, the people of La Oroya have been exposed to extreme levels of lead and other harmful contaminants, including arsenic, cadmium, and sulfur dioxide. At one point, 99% of children under 6 years old in La Oroya tested had lead levels known to cause severe health harms. Many residents suffer from developmental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory illness, and cancer, among many other health issues.

Peruvian researchers and La Oroya locals who tried to disseminate information about the smelter’s toxic impacts were harassed and intimidated. In the absence of government action, the Latin America-based environmental legal group the Inter-American Association for Environmental Defense (AIDA), with the support of Earthjustice, began advocating for the people of La Oroya. In 2006, AIDA and Earthjustice, together with other groups, filed a petition against the Peruvian government at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. AIDA and APRODEH, a Peruvian human rights organization, represented families from La Oroya in the proceedings.

In the 15 years it took the complaint to get before the Court, the Peruvian government repeatedly gave the smelter’s owner, Doe Run Peru (a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Renco Group, Inc), free leave to emit massive levels of air pollution that frequently went well beyond Peruvian regulations and World Health Organization standards for air quality. Since the government sold the plant in 1997, Doe Run Peru was given special exemptions from complying with environmental laws until it could install much needed technology to control pollution. Later, despite the company repeatedly failing to install these controls, the government granted extension after extension allowing the company to continue operating and polluting.

Doe Run Peru eventually declared bankruptcy and creditors later sold the smelter to its local workers in La Oroya – potentially transferring its environmental liability onto the people it had poisoned.

OXYGEN BOOSTER MODEL: OxySteer

AGG Oxysteer electric booster pump is used for pumping 100% pure oxygen. It allows users to fill oxygen cylinders to 310 Bar from a low-pressure supply cylinder. Due to its innovative seal design and cooling method, Oxysteer fill oxygen cylinders to near ambient temperature. Our boosters also operate at a very low 77dBA noise level.

Oxysteer is completely oil-free and use only two low friction dry seals. The seals can be replaced in about 20 minutes by anyone, with only a few tools. The piston guide is the only other part that requires regular maintenance. This is done by simply sliding it off the piston.

Oxysteer AGG gas booster requires a source of gas of at least 20 Bar to function properly. Its purpose is to use the available gas pressure in supply cylinders to fill smaller cylinders to higher pressures. This will not improve the quality of the source gas nor will it add contaminants. Although the booster requires a minimum of 20 Bar to function properly, any greater inlet pressure will reduce the fill time of the receiving cylinder.
