The 1872 Mining Law, still governing mining practices after more than 150 years, is woefully outdated and fails to protect both the environment and the American people. As the demand for minerals surges to support renewable energy development, the need for modernized legislation has never been more urgent. It’s time to reform these laws to safeguard our public lands and ensure a sustainable future.
