Residents raise concerns over silica mining in Manitoba

- An Alberta mining company wants to drill thousands of wells east of Winnipeg. It wants to extract ultra-pure and highly valuable silica sand. The mining company says this could be worth billions for Manitoba but some rural residents fear sand mines will compromise their only source of drinking water.
3:15 - 'just applied them in a different manner''? Care to explain?

Nobody wants anything next door, but everybody wants smartphones, EVs, glass, etc. Life is a balancing act. I guess a collection of residents have the ability to cancel stuff like this. Myself I'd be looking for how to do manage the risks of such a project, including minimizing chance of water problems, and finding alternate water sources (yes this may suck), ensuring there's an acceptable payout if the water is affected.
A 2 year trial isn't a viable idea - the company and its investors would reject that as it puts a HUGE amount of capital at risk. Sadly lots of projects like this will go to countries with weaker regulatory regimes where they'll use riskier extraction methods and people who suffer likely won't be compensated. But we'll have our silica products (computer hardware - which is basically everything nowadays, glass, fiber optics, etc) and sleep better knowing our water is not at any risk. And we'll NIMBY ourselves out of a lot of employment opportunity and accept the risk of that with respect to reductions in standard of living, health, and meaningful contribution to society.
'' ensuring there's an acceptable payout if the water is affected.'' Care to explain?
