Mar. 7 - An exclusive look inside one of America's largest gold mines as the price of the precious metal climbs toward $1,000 an ounce. Northeastern Nevada is home to the the most abundant gold field in the Western Hemisphere. Soaring gold prices have been a boom to the mining industry but those high prices are not necessarily translating into record profits. Ruben Ramirez reports from Carlin, Nevada. Speakers: Steve Grusing Geologist, Newmont Joel Lenz Nevada Process Manager, Newmont

I actually have seen the reclaimed land in NV. You cant' tell the difference from the natural state. NYC has a golf course build on top of the landfill ($400k membership fee !!!!!!) Also I agree with you pointing out Airelon's broken logic. I guess the point is that If you damage enviroment localy, than who cares about eastern europe but if you damage it globaly (inefficient use of energy etc...) Than first you should go after the dirtiest polluters in E.Europe and Asia

American land, but you won't see any of the profits, in fact if they find gold on your land, eminent domain will soon take it from you.

Defending gold mining by arguing that environmentalists benefit from mining materials is pretty weak - this argument can be used for necessity items, but most gold is used for jewelry and decorative uses - I have never bought gold jewelry, and if we have to drive up the cost of gold to get people change to less damaging materials, it's worth it -- I and my dirty hippie cohorts may eat dominos and drink bud, but we recycle the boxes and cans

Actually, my family is from Huntington. Well, originally, East Lynn just north of War, and what *was* Coalwood. So yes I have seen them. I've seen slag damns. My wifes family is from Pennsylvania (Pittsburg region) And those are hundreds of times better than what you will find in other areas of the planet, such as Eastern Europe, and in Asia and Africa.

You obviously haven't seen the orange streams with acid mine drainage running in West Virginia from mines in high sulphur rock that are still being given new permits as we speak, or entire towns in central Pennsylvania that are built on slag with the ugly landscapes with little vegetation and the constant risk of landslides
