@ArrowbearMoore Haaland has not taken a clear public stance, to my knowledge, and I'd be interested to know what's going on behind the scenes, too.
From an AP story last year on Thacker Pass:
"Haaland, whose department oversees Thacker Pass, said that while she supports the right to peaceful protests, her agency is in favor of the mine because 'the need for our clean energy economy to move forward is definitely important.'”
