Twin Metals is racing to build a massive underground copper-nickel mine in Minnesota, targeting one of the world’s largest undeveloped mineral reserves to fuel electric vehicles and electronics — but at what cost? With $650 million already spent on environmental reviews, the company promises hundreds of union jobs and a major economic boost. Yet fierce opposition from environmentalists and local guides warns of irreversible damage to the sacred Boundary Waters. Complicating matters, the governor has imposed a mining ban, which Twin Metals calls an unfair roadblock. The future hangs in the balance as America grapples with a critical dilemma: securing vital minerals without sacrificing pristine ecosystems.
