Biden Admin Bans Future Leasing in Top Coal Mining Region on Turkey Day

The Biden administration goes out kicking and screaming by banning future coal mining, defying voters' America First energy mandate for Trump. When you add their anti-American energy agenda to their green agenda, which shifts unprecedented power to China, one wonders how any American voted for Kamala Harris.

(Daily Caller) The Powder River Basin, a region that spans parts of Montana and Wyoming, accounted for about 43% of U.S. coal in 2019, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The administration made its move to formally end coal leasing in the area and roll back previous approvals for development plans on Wednesday as Americans prepared to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, according to E&E News.

“The decision is to make no federal coal available for future leasing,” Todd Yeager, the field manager for the Buffalo office of the Bureau of Land Management, wrote in a filing announcing the move, according to E&E News. Yeager added that the decision will take about 48 billion short tons of coal off the table for mining and development.
