OK Einstein, tell me how much it would cost to remove 2,526,480,000 cubic
feet of toxic sludge. That is the volume of the pond that burst. How much
will that cost in man-hours, equipment and fuel. And where will you haul it
off to where it can be safely sequestered for eternity?

Now let's consider the proposed Pebble Mine. The tailing pond for that one
will need to be 6000 acres in area and 700 feet deep. That is 3/4ths the
size of the island of Manhattan and as deep as the Empire State Building is
tall. What liner technology would you propose?
