Well they shouldn’t have a say, per the U.S. Constitution. But that doesn’t stop them. That’s why we have national parks. The federal government literally just stole land from states, thanks to that PoS Teddy Roosevelt. Only his cousin FDR was a bigger piece of shit.
President Bill Clinton stole a huge part of Utah as payment to the Chinese when he created the Grand Staircase-Escalante National park. The land can best be described as Badlands. President Clinton even signed the legislation in ANOTHER STATE so it LOOKED like he was preserving a part of the Grand Canyon. By making the area a "Monument" he closed off our largest supply of ultra-clean, very low sulfur coal in our country. The only other place this quality of coal is available is in Asia under the control of China. To whom, Clinton owed a great debt.
Try lying less. First of all, the areas that they want to strip mine are in the Plat areas in otherwords, mountains. That is where the Coal deposits worth mining are. And they want to strip mine them. What it leaves is a scar on the land that may never heal. It's one thing to strip mine on the plains but another to do it in the Mountains.
Second, In the U.S., bituminous coal is mined primarily in Appalachia and in the mid-western states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Anthracite coal: Anthracite (also called hard coal) was formed when bituminous coal underwent even more heat over a longer time and is usually associated with mountain building forces.Guess what kind of coal has the highest sulphur content and less carbon content. It burns dirtier. We have million of tons of Anthracite coal around here and we are in the process of shutting down ALL coal fired Production of Power. It's dirty, real dirty. We also have shut down a few of the Mines as well. The West does not need to open any new coal fields that we don't already have until we reopen the ones that we have closed.
