Comes just from the meeting in Jokkmokk about the Lule River with, among others, Birger Lahti and it emerged that if there is an iron mine at Jokkmokk - and it probably is - then the Inlandsbanan is needed for iron transport. Apparently, it is entirely possible with some upgrading.
As far as the mine is concerned, it is located in completely useless forest (new and old calcareous) and an iron mine has emissions that can be managed if you wish. And we can't put all the mines in someone else's backyard. I think - like V in Jokkmokk - that the place is quite well "chosen". The Sami lands are somewhat limited and this is probably the biggest problem.
