You destroy good land permanently, as the alleged reclamation standards suck and do not repair what damage is done. In Europe, most mining is below grown. I also live in Oregon and I have seen the problems climate change because of what Chinese polution has done to weather patterns is doing.
True, part of that problem is our over logging that destroys the ability of the land to absorb rain which runs off much faster and causes devastating flooding, but we basically are destroying this beautiful place to allow the Chinese to treat us like a third world resource producer. I also live in Eugene, and they are going to be shipping a lot of the coal out of Coos bay, meaning rail cars full of coal, that lose 800 pounds of coal dust in transit will be passing through here.
Count on us doing non violent civil disobedience on that count, as well as continuing what efforts we can to stop logging without laws.
