WildEarth Guardians Urge Interior Secretary To Tell MoCo Commissioners to “Keep Coal In The Ground” -snip-
WildEarth Guardians is urging Sally Jewell, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, to address the truthful climate implications of coal mining when she meets with officials from Craig, Colorado this week.

In a speech in March, Sally Jewell told an audience that it’s time to ask ourselves “How do we manage the [federal coal] program in a way that is consistent with our climate change objectives?”

Interior Secretary Jewell says 200 coal jobs lost throughout U.S. is "minor" Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell minimalized the impact a proposed rule intended to protect water in the proximity of coal mines would have on coal-reliant communities during a press conference Thursday.
Jewell called the potential loss of approximately 200 jobs across coal country “relatively minor.”
The proposed rule would adversely affect 460 jobs but at the same time account for an additional 250 jobs created under the restoration actions required by the plan, Jewell said.
“The net impact is a couple of hundred jobs in coal country, specifically due to this rule,” she said. “So, it’s relatively minor.”

Environmental organizations advance their agenda by engaging in collusive litigation with the Department of Interior, EPA, and other federal agencies who know that going along with the environmentalists would violate the law or the public interest, but who quietly side with the environmentalists. So they set it up so the environmentalists sue the agency, and the agency conveniently puts up little or no fight against the lawsuit, and once the court rules in favor of the environmentalists, claim they have no choice and what the environmentalist want is now “the law.” On top of that, the environmentalists enrich themselves because as prevailing parties, they are generally entitled to an award of attorneys fees and costs from the government (that is, us, the sucker taxpayers).
The environmentalists are very careful never to name the actual targets of their efforts, usually private parties, as parties to the lawsuit, and when these interests try to intervene to protect their rights, the courts conveniently say they have “no standing.”
By the way, it is this exact same process that was used by homosexual activist organizations to overturn the will of the people regarding Proposition 8 and other constitutional probisions defining marriage as between a man and a woman. With Proposition 8 it was a collusive lawsuit by homosexual activists against the liberal State of California government who rolled over and did not defend against the lawsuit. Those who were in favor of the Proposition, including those groups who were instrumental in getting it passed, were held to have no standing.

"It’s an elitist movement with no regard for hard working families in Colorado or any other state."
Mostly government pensioned NIMBYs (mostly originally from the northeastern states) who want to keep all real workers and useful production off of the Range and continue getting only easy money. The best thing that could happen would be for property values to go down to about a tenth of what they are and for tourism to cease.

They won’t allow exploratory uranium drilling either. The environmentalist organizations are only fronts for the other local neighbors behind them. Like I said, mostly pensioners from faraway cities. They’re bigger spenders with taxes and fees, too, so the local government folks really like them. Anyone thinking of buying a lot and building on it had better think twice, too. The regulations and fees are horrendous, much like those of northeastern coastal cities, and the NIMBY neighbors get really mad about anyone putting up any new building, even in the middle of nowhere.

We have become so “good” that we can no longer protect ourselves from bad people.
Life should be very dangerous for these whackadoodles, and it’s not.
