Pebble Partnership CEO Tom Collier has responded to Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s statement that he would use a study completed by the Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2014 to deny federal permits for the Alaska mine.
Collier said on Monday that any action by a Democratic administration to challenge Pebble’s federal permits once granted would have negative implications for the US’ reputation as a jurisdiction for business investment, even if such an action was subsequently overturned by the courts.
