Joe Biden doesn't like coal. I mean, he really, really doesn't like it. What's more, coal is mainly located in red states and employs a lot of conservative voters.
Advertisement Biden decided to deliver a parting shot to coal-producing states and those whose livelihoods depend on mining. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently approved an amendment to the Resource Management Plan (RMP) that would ban new coal leases in Wyoming's Powder River Basin and make "48.12 billion short tons of coal unavailable for leasing consideration in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a proxy for climate change," said BLM Buffalo, Wyo., field manager Todd Yeager.
The ban will block any new federal mining leases in Wyoming's Powder River Basin by 2041. The Powder River Basin is the nation's largest coal-producing area.
The Trump transition will almost certainly look to reverse the decision. But that means court battles for years.

Now, in order to reverse this, the federal government will sue itself. You, I and other taxpayers will pay these lawyer bills.
Incredible harm to our country from Joe Biden.
Yet another good reason to dismantle the federal EPA - besides being a waste of space and money, it has a lot of unconstitutional authority.
Probably Big Coal didn’t come across with the Do Re Me for the big guy.
Exactly.
When TEXAS SECEDES-—AND other states follow-—Wyoming & supporting states DO NOT have to listen to BIDEN’s Declarations.
Re Paul Begala - “stroke of a pen” not possible?
That’s what Biden did when he got there so why can’t President Trump do the same?
Screw the courts. Just do it.
Biden is going to burn it all down before he exits. Well I should say his handlers are burning it all down.
These people ae pure evil through and through. AND they truly hate this country.
ABOLISH THE BLM. They are USELESS.
So court only have clout when Trump does something? OK...
Trump’s pen can undo Biden’s pen and it won’t take years to have an appellate court knock down a rogue district judge.
And ironically, most EV owners actually support this.
The BLM is an unconstitutional agency. Land is a State’s issue, not a federal one. While we are at it, abolish the national forests and park. States can manage those.
I thought there was a SCOTUS decision earlier this year that said regulators couldn’t make laws.
Biden is going to burn it all down before he exits?
It was easily predicated these evil America last, Democrat Communist would attempt to crash the country before Trump could take office.
Coal and anything produced here doesn’t money launder like Ukraine n Syria pipelines, Afghanistan lithium.
Easily predicted too!
State need to basically take back their states. No reason for BLM.
I would think Trump just signs a EO making what Biden did null and void...
And the US Forest Service as well. Both are totally worthless.
Abolish both and transfer all public lands management to a new Department of Public Lands with the mandate to return federally managed lands to the states.
We have both BLM and Forest Service offices in our towns, both in the same compound and they both have their own little fiefdoms, all jealously guarded. Stupid duplication of mostly unnecessary make work.
I’ve been following these Biden decisions after the election. It is as if he is doing the globalists’ bidding to weaken the US as much as is possible within his power.
My Gawd we dodged a bullet with this election.
