This article below just came out regarding the impact gold mining on the environment and people/societies. The Elko area isn't mentioned in particular, but Newmont is (go to page 5 of the article to skip to it). Although no one in my family is employed in mining related work (thus I consider myself more-less impartial), I felt the article was very negatively slanted (which in my opinon many many articles in National Geographic are elitist).
Read it and let me know what you think the pro/cons are for the mining industry over all, as well as for Elko in particular.
