HI Dave,

Yes it was-- I realized this after I posted (Kennecott Copper wanting to put
in a nickel mine), but the point is still the same.

Yep. Not much difference. I know copper is used for wire primarily.
what is nickel used for? Magnets?

Dave

Hi Dave,

Nickel is primarily used as an alloying element in steel manufacture. Alloy
steels often include nickel in their composition, and are used for
applications where heat resistance, corrosion resistance, or exceptional
toughness is required.

Best,

Interesting point, but if you want natural rivers go to Alaska, not
Michigan
or anywhere in the Midwest. We can not alter our environment to meet the
emotional needs of a few elitists.

You need not travel so far. Just cross the border into Canada and drive
to
the North Shore of Lake Superior. Lots of very good natural rivers.

And very good paddling too!

Huh? Off the top of my head I can think of Channel Islands (national)

Stone is full of misinformation. The general management plan did not
push private boats out of Isle Royal. It does attempt to separate the
backpackers/kayakers from the motorboats, so that someone who spent
three days hiking or paddling to a remote campsite doesn't have to put
up with someone docking their cabin cruiser 100' away and running the
generator all night. The plan was approved three or four years ago, and
you can still take your boat to Isle Royale.

And as you correctly point out, Isle Royale is hardly America's only
maritime park.
