projects such as Hackett River can never be feasible
Such projects each represent:

hundreds of millions dollars already invested in them

о
о
billion(s) of dollars of future investment in infrastructure, supplies, contracts
hundreds or thousands of dollars in employment and capacity development
(including northern hire initiatives)
hundreds of millions of dollars that would be generated in government taxes and
royalties
opportunities and support for scientific research and experimental development in
remote northern areas
