We have tacos thanks to mining

Have you seen the ads being run by the Pebble Partnership? They have a series of commercials talking about the ubiquity of copper, to raise awareness of mining and how it raises our standard of living. They offer a “Brutus-like” argument for why government shouldn’t regulate mining out of existence.

Well, it turns out that we can add another item to the “thanks to mining…” list. Tacos.
