Better In Our Back Yard (BIOBY) applauds Twin Metal Minnesota on becoming the first mining company in Minnesota to adopt battery vehicle technology. Twin Metals announced today it is converting the mine’s vehicle fleets from diesel to electric and strengthening its commitment to the fight against climate change by further minimizing the project’s footprint. 

This is an exciting move, one that perfectly blends responsible industry with environmental stewardship. Electric vehicles will reduce the project’s onsite greenhouse gas emissions, decrease power requirements and maintenance needs, improve noise and air quality, and, most importantly, increase worker safety.
