CORTEZ MASTO & RISCH INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO PROTECT CRITICAL MINERAL PRODUCTION IN THE WEST
Press Release
Date: April 25, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Energy Natural Resources
"Nevada's critical minerals are the key to our clean energy future, and we must make sure to support responsible mining and the tens of thousands of good-paying jobs it provides in our state. This misguided decision would force all mining activities, even the storage of waste, to happen on mineral-rich land, which could impede critical mineral production all across the country. This bipartisan legislation will undo the damage of this decision, allow mining operations to continue under long-standing and historic application of the law, and protect the good-paying jobs this industry supports in our state."
