The Great Debate
The Great Debate continues to be a good-natured debate about the mining industry with the goal of raising funds for the U.S. National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum. Who works harder? Who has more skill? Whose job is more important to the bottom line? Whose boots get dirtier? In the July Issue of Mining Engineering, William Lipps, Past Chair of the SME Environmental Division, makes the case for environmental health and safety.
