The administration wants more American copper. So why is the Justice Department still defending the EPA veto that blocks one of the country's largest copper deposits? Pebble CEO John Shively on what he's asking the White House to do:

The EPA used a rarely applied Clean Water Act veto to block Pebble before permitting was finished. John Shively warns that if it stands, the same tool can be used anywhere. Plus, the real fear about China:

News: Mining and energy leaders met in Minnesota last week at the Mining and Energy Expo. Pebble CEO John Shively was there. Here's what stood out to him, and why it matters for America's mineral supply. #Mining #CriticalMinerals

America is racing to secure copper, bauxite, rare earths, and battery minerals at home instead of relying on China. Friday's White House roundtable proves it with $2B+ in new mining investments. Pebble is ready to be part of the answer: the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold-moly deposit, right here in the U.S. #PebbleProject #AmericanMining #EnergySecurity

Today @potus announced $2B+ in new critical mining investments and $180M for America's mining schools. It's the largest gathering of mining leaders and a President in 120+ years. Since Jan 2025, the Administration has approved 160 minerals deals worth ~$40B. 🇺🇸⛏️ Pebble sits on one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits on Earth - exactly the kind of domestic asset this moment calls for. #CriticalMinerals #Copper #PebbleProject #AmericanMining

One takeaway from #CERAWeek 2026: AI runs on copper. With demand rising sharply and supply struggling to keep up, the need for new domestic resources is becoming a major policy and economic issue. America has opportunities: including Alaska’s Pebble deposit.

AI needs power. Power needs copper. At #CERAWeek, leaders are discussing the coming “Copper Conundrum.” Demand could rise 50% by 2040 — but supply may fall far short. Domestic resources like Pebble could play a major role.

At #CERAWeek 2026, expect one word to dominate AI + energy conversations: Copper. AI data centers + electrification could push global demand 50% higher by 2040. Domestic resources like Alaska’s Pebble deposit could help close the gap. AI runs on copper.
