She criticized the initiative as coming from extremists and fanatics in the USA, alleging that it represents foreign interference.\n\nIsabelle Canty, on the other hand, highlighted the disparity caused by destructive capitalism and the importance of considering the environment for the future. She questioned whether supporting the American war machine and data centres in a dry continent is conscionable. As a humanist and ecologist, Canty would prefer to leave the mineral in the ground, emphasizing that money is not worth the harm it causes.",
