<<His consideration of allowing mining in National Monuments is enough to convince me where he is coming from.>> So when does Mount Rushmore come down? Clinton started naming national monuments at a record pace, taking vast waste lands out of production so the ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY coal couldn't be mined. This happened right after the Lippo Group, you remember them? From Indonesia, donated to Clinton? Export coal to the US? Oil bearing shale now off limits. Without energy this country dies. Illinois has enough coal to provide electricity to the US for 250 years. It's high sulphur though. Bush has pledged $1 billion to make ways to burn it cleanly. Illinois has been giving state parks and refuges to the coal companies. The reclaimation makes the land much better for recreation and wildlife.
