The legislation was mostly written by Arizona Congressman Mo Udall. It effectively closed 90 percent of the small family owned mines (less than 150,000 tons/year) in the US.
A huge new bureaucracy was created to do what the coal states were already doing. I was a mine manager at the time.

I sure hope so. Bush didn't undo a damn thing that Clinton did, other than reversing clinton's executive order to kill children in third world countries.

Another waste of our good tax dollars.

Maybe there’ll be less global warming if we stop burning money.
Just shutting them down isn’t enough any more. They need to be criminally charged and imprisoned as a deterrent to anyone else who tries this crap in the future.
“The Obama administration is creating an advisory committee on climate change to advise the federal government on future operations.”
Just when we thought all hope was lost...we’re saved!

BTW, is this “Climate Change” Federal Boondoggle a tribute nod to former Weathermen, say someone named Bill Ayres?
Hopefully employment within that new Commie assembly will be very very short lived as the goon leaves office with his throngs of malefactors of all imaginations in January.
Will there never bexan end to this nonsense?
The world is now a safer place. The sea levels will begin to fall, ice will build up in the Arctic.
