Biden Admin Bans Future Leasing in Montana and Wyoming​

The Biden administration moved on Thanksgiving eve to bar future coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, one of America’s most coal-rich regions, according to multiple reports.
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.

However, the incoming Trump administration is likely to reverse the decisions and open the area up for new coal leasing again.

Wonder how many new leases were going to be signed over the holiday anyway.

This is all about the the announcement in Jan that "Trump opened up federal lands for coal mining that Biden had closed".

Fuck Joe Biden didn't do shit., except for in his pants.
The Biden "administration" or the Obama behind the curtain made this call.

January 20th can't come soon enough. Things will improve in our country when President-elect Trump and MAGA finally remove Biden Obama from power once and for all.

Clearly Obama had a hard on for Coal Mining and end product use, but I never heard the real reason why? And I don't believe the "Green" bullshit either.

Coal is an extremely clean resource when burned correctly and through particulate filters and NOx catalysts.

What would Trump 2.0 mean for coal?

The next president could influence how long the fuel remains in the power mix.

“No one has done more damage to the American coal industry than Joe Biden.”

I want more coal, diesel, gas, and NG/LP being mine, drilled, and manufactured.

I thank the Lord every day that the brain dead, incompetent, do nothing, cackling fool was not allowed to cheat her way into office.

Wasn't it Hitlery that told the southern coal miners that were to loose their jobs that all they had to do was learn to code. Well I guess the same could be said to the federal employees about to loose theirs

Bingo!

Just a tantrum from the petulant leftist children in the Biden-Harris administration.

Never work for the gov. They move at a snails pace, and they don't want to keep up with private sector salaries in technology. Not to mention you need to get a security clearance for shit. Going to be hard for the ones that do to move into the private sector. Way different world.

Get that asshole out of office and on the senior bus to the assisted living facility already. Should've been gone years ago. I can't believe he was allowed to remain in office this long.

The bottom line the Left just won't accept is that Energy is wealth, period! Printing fiat Currency may allow you to buy shit, but it hold no intrinsic wealth, only a promissory note. Granted, we trade off Energy (coal, Oil, Gas, etc.) for those Notes commonly called "Dollars" but without something tangibly backing them, all we're doing is creating inflation...Just look at the Currency of ANY Country that was defeated in War or Governmental Collapse; it becomes worthless overnight.

BTW: all that money laundered through Ukraine and back to places like Blackrock: that money is used to buy houses/property by paying astronomical prices, and why not, they're using illegal money that isn't from investors, so if they loose it, pay too much, or even make a handsome profit no body gives a fuck because it's all a great big scam that fucks the American People, most of whom are too dumb or apathetic to do anything more than bitch on FB or X.

I thought it was Obama but I could be wrong. Obama trashed small town USA over his coal crap he pulled. Obama was and still is a dangerous man for this country. He’s smart, well spoken, and can convince people into anything. He was the right man for the right job at the right time to destroy and divide this country.

IIRC it was Biden in 2019. but IDK.

"Learn to code" seemed to be a Democrat talking point for a while. So more than one Democrat probably said it, including the talking heads on the Fake News Media.

Edit - FWIW. I did a quick search out of curiosity...

During a rally yesterday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden spoke to a crowd in Derry, N.H., a town that many miners call home. He acknowledged the economic setbacks and job insecurity that coal miners face these days, and gave them some advice: learn to code.
