Kerry is for clean coal.
The cleanest known coal reserves in the USA are in S Utah, where Clintoon lied right up the last minute to the entire Utah members of Congress about making millions of acres of land National Monuments. He signed the paperwork on the ARIZONA side of the Grand Canyon on Labor Day weekend, I don't remember the year. Leases had been let, and jobs were about to be granted to thousands of miners. It all stopped. Sen Orrin Hatch was absolutely livid. Was connected to Indonesia and donations to Clintoons campaign. Indonesia was the next cleanest coal reserves known in the world at the time. Maybe still.
Bush needs to reopen these lands for coal mining. NOW.
That was a travesty of justice. It should be corrected. On another note, Indonesia became a net importer of oil a couple months ago, which ought to be a sign and portent of things to come.
