Pete, the area that Bill Clinton made forever off limits to coal extraction was/is in Utah, I believe, and was supposedly one of the last deposits of that high grade, low polluting coal left in America so close to the surface.
I think it was near or adjacent to the Escalante Staircase, if not THE Escalante Staircase.
Bill took what was considered one Trillion dollars worth of "white coal" off the market.
Yes the environmentalist that he is made sure to deprive the US of a much cleaner source of coal.
All for campaign donations.
How come NOBODY mentions that?
I'm so goddamn old that I can remember 20 years ago.
Apparently no one in the MSM is interested.
