Southern Arizona just became a hotspot for the future of U.S. energy, thanks to a massive 4-million-ton reserve of critical minerals like manganese and zinc. The Hermosa project promises to boost local jobs, power the renewable energy shift, and set new standards for sustainable mining. But there’s a catch—concerns are rising about water contamination in Harshaw Creek, with locals worried about long-term impacts on the region’s water supply. Is this a game-changer for the economy and green tech, or are the environmental risks too high? What do you think matters most for our community? #Business #Industry #Arizona
