Though I suspect if they are onto airborne surveying now, may be a little late later (OK, if they start prospecting early next year, may be ok), and Rio Tinto isn't exactly one of Z's favourite potential employers. But it is iron (which he has played with), rather than oil.

Assuming the severe cases of NOT IN MY BACKYARD*!!!!-ness can be gotten past and Rio Tinto sets forward a mining scheme which isn't going to completely fuck the environment over... We can get into a discussion of mining damage vs farming damage at a later date.

Anyone know if there is a lj feed for The Unspeakable Vault of Doom?
