Baptists and bootleggers: Wilderness pilot opposes roads
There’s a big fight in Alaska about whether to build a road so that the mining companies can better get people, supplies, and copper to and from a remote mining site.
TL;DR
- Alaska is experiencing a conflict over building a road to a remote mining site.
