11:05 - 11:22 (17 mins)  John Shively,  Pebble Project CEO   
 The world's largest undeveloped copper deposit sits locked under American soil while China tightens its grip on the minerals powering AI.

 On February 17, the DOJ defended the EPA's unprecedented 2023 veto of Alaska's Pebble Mine, creating a regulatory "kill switch" that lets any administration block projects after they've already cleared environmental review. The decision ignores years of completed science and sets a chilling precedent for mines, pipelines, and factories nationwide.

 What's at stake:
4 billion pounds of copper, the largest untapped deposit on Earth
AI data centers projected to consume 500,000+ tons of copper annually by 2030
S. permitting averages 29 years vs. under 5 in competing nations
China dominates global copper processing and rare earth supply chains critical to defense and tech

While Washington stalls, Beijing builds. Every day Pebble stays blocked is another day we cede energy independence, manufacturing jobs, and AI leadership to our biggest adversary.
