maybe the gov should just wave the royalty fee & instead request the extraction companies to post a compliance bond to rectify the environmental impacts.

just think the mountains in West Virginia would not look like standing rotted apple cores, exhausted of it's coal, only to have the coal companies exit with it's mess left behind.
the area around Gillette, Wy looks like sh*t today with the coal & ngas extraction (with the coal powered plants & the airborne particulate matter, Wyoming is the worst state per capita in the US).
in the Silver Valley where I DO LIVE, the heavy metals above are an on- going problem affecting everyone & everything downstream. this is not to say there is a problem the current mining but every time sh*t does happen the locals & the State of Idaho is jumping in the Fed's sh*t asking for a corrective action fix on the environmental damages.

just a few things I saw along the way...
