Judge reinstates Obama-era ban on coal sales from federal land

Almost half the nation’s annual coal production is mined by private companies from leases on federal land

Landon Mion  |  August 13, 2022

A federal judge on Friday reinstated a moratorium on coal leasing from federal lands that had been implemented during the Obama administration.

The ban was lifted under former President Donald Trump.

Friday's ruling from U.S. District Judge Brian Morris requires government officials to conduct a new environmental review prior to resuming coal sales from federal lands. The judge said the government's previous review of the program during the Trump administration had not adequately considered the climate damage from coal's greenhouse gas emissions, among other effects.

Almost half the nation’s annual coal production is mined by private companies from leases on federal land, mainly in Western states, including Wyoming, Montana and Colorado.  .  .

Environmentalism as a social principle . . . condemns cities, culture, industry, technology, the intellect, and advocates men’s return to “nature,” to the state of grunting subanimals digging the soil with their bare hands.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Fishing for Dem votes in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Kentucky.  Demand should be increasing in those states.

The district judge of Montana should not dictate what happens for the rest of the coal producing states.

@Smokin Joe

There is nothing the least bit stupid about it. This is yet one more purposeful attempt by the DNC/left to destroy America's economy in order to force everyone to move into "Khrushchev" apartment blocks in the cities,and give up their automobiles and the freedoms they represent because they will no longer be able to afford to buy gas and drive back and forth to work.

It's the continuation of the "Communism of America,Comrades!"

Which is still stupid. It is the equivalent of pushing that tired old Marxist button and believing that the results will be different this time.

The definition of stupid. A pox upon them and their houses.

It's NOT stupid if you are a member of the ruling class.

That Faustian bargain is a limited ticket for all but the most ruthless, who eke out their years unable to turn their backs to anyone. Hell awaits. IMNSHO, still stupid.
