Clean burning coal - as I recall, the largest supply in the world next to the one in Indonesia. As I also recall, Bubba made the US supply in Utah a Fed protected area (Nat'l park or some such - I forget the exact wording) and the one in Indonesia is/was owned by the Lippo Group (his friends and donors)
That's right and Clinton tied a whole lot of it up when he did what Robert Redford wanted and named the Escalante Wilderness. If any one thing cinched Utah as a Republican State it was that move.... they are talking about doing some drilling for oil in Glen Canyon.
My recollections exactly. I don't remember if it is soft are hard. We have one kind here in E TX that they have opened up again, after closing it nearly 100 years ago.
