Loading ...Pebble Limited Partnerships has re ignited the debate around Federal overreach in the mining industry with its latest efforts to overturn a controversial project veto from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Two professors from the University of Alaska have hit back against subpoenas from Pebble, which requested insight into their research records as evidence for the company’s ongoing lawsuit against the EPA.
