DeSoto Denies Mosaic
Commissioners vote against rezoning application for mining
By Craig Garrett, Charlotte Sun, July 26, 2018

Mosaic spent 20 years planning new phosphate mine. DeSoto County has rejected it

     "​I learned about the upcoming DeSoto votes late like most and created the Wake Up DeSoto Facebook page.  I showed pictures and data to commissioners on what mining does; what happens to property values and why reclamation is not restoration.  I wrote 500 questions that Mosaic cannot answer.  The Planning Commission gave a preliminary 3-2 vote to approve mining on June 6 that was only advisory for the County Commission July 25th vote.  There was little time to educate the Commissioners and activate stakeholders, barely aware of what was happening. Completely amazing was how complete strangers coalesced overnight from the waters of Charlotte Harbor to Buzzard’s Roost off Horse Creek next to Hardee County. They formed into groups and subgroups to fight Mosaic with boat captains, hydrologists, geiger counters, lawyers and young mothers worried sick about children growing up next to six story-tall radioactive slime pits of clay pudding. The Facebook page shows near real time pictures and video of mined-out Hardee County Mosaic had no answer for along with solid arguments countering all the advantages professed to come from erasing the history of 36 square miles of DeSoto. Mosaic was presented with hundreds of questions they would not answer.  On the day the biggest meeting ever held in DeSoto, we held a Rally across the street from the Commission all afternoon with The Hatley Band who are now our official anti-mining band.  Raffles for $500 cash, a TV, and  a $1,000 cruise were held, all designed to get people to attend the meeting and speak to their commissioners.  The meeting at 6:30 almost had to be cancelled because there were not enough chairs and people were standing along the sides of the main room and the annex room was full.  I spoke the first night as an expert witness for 20 minutes.  The Commissioners knew me well already from the many emails I had sent them explaining the realities of mining including the Bert Harris Act if they pass the rezoning; the Toxic Tour from a Google Map app. driving through mined-out lands; what happens to property values from mining; the corruption required to support mining, etc.  I spoke on why it was impossible to vote yes for mining because there was not one valid reason for it.  We handed out fans for each person that attended the rally to take to the meeting--- they had a list of the top ten reasons to vote NO.  How only three votes separated the lives of horses and families and future production from killing fields and dead zones.  It was powerful and only a couple of sorry Mosaic employees had to say they liked having a job.  It was a parade of educated, well thought-out presentations.   The ultimate reason for the victory in rejecting Mosaic's ability to mine in DeSoto was four honest commissioners.  That was the reason.  They listened to the people and voted the way that was the only way.
     Leadership by Commissioner Elton Langford cannot be overstated.  He, in my opinion, saved DeSoto County that night.  I have seen Mosaic at work for many years and I can tell you that Elton Langford saved his County by finishing the task at hand, evaluating the petition for re-zoning, and making the motion to deny that application.  This experience will hopefully not soon be repeated: desperate people with nothing to lose giving the speeches of their lives to save their way of life from certain death.  It was a magical, once-in-a-lifetime time no one there will ever forget."

Mosaic's 2016 Mulberry sinkhole disaster could have been avoided as evinced by warnings in this 2003 St. Petersburg Times article:
A $140-million mess
That's the bill Florida is stuck with because the state didn't follow its own rules in dealing with wastewater cleanup problems at the fertilizer plant.

Phosphate Mining:
​One of the biggest threats to our environment

▼ By Mike Knepper ▼

     Lasers can be used to speed the decay of radioactive waste like from Fukushima, "depleted" uranium, nuclear disasters, phosphate mining, etc.  When a web search is performed of, "laser radioactive waste decay," you can find material like U.S. Patent 6331774 and from Helsinki University of Technology (http://www.academia.edu/20425892/Laser-enhanced_radioactive_decay_and_selective_transmutation_of_nuclei_revisited).  Perform a web search also for, "laser radioactive waste decay water," and you'll find that it's effective for use on radioactive water, too.  Radioactive isotopes with half lives of millions of years can be neutralized in less than an hour with lasers.
