If Clinton had not made the low sulfur coal in Utah off limits (he made
it a national park) then we could economically switch to that coal and
at the same time reduce emissions with tighter standards. As it is,
this won't happen because the labor unions (jobs for dirty coal mines in
the east) and anti carbon dioxide lobby will block it. So you in the
north above the US industrial belt get acid rain and yellow air to
breathe. I hope you like our political system. I think it stinks. no
pun intended

Let's see, Montana has 50 billion short tons of low sulfur coal, Wyoming
has 25 billion. Utah? 1/4 billion short tons. Yup, it's Clinton's
fault.
There is low sulphur and extreme Low Sulphur called Super Compiant

of SUPER-COMPLIANT coal

President Clinton locks up major US coal deposit.
In a pre-election move, President Clinton has created a controversial
National Monument, which locks in an estimated **7 billion tonnes** of
low-sulfur coal, said to be worth up to US$ 1000 billion. The 700,000
hectare Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in the Utah desert
includes coal leases which were to become a 6000 hectare underground mine
exporting to East Asia. The leases, on Federal Government land, are not
revoked but the new designation means that Washington will impose
restrictions which prevent mining. A Republican Senator lamented that the
President was locking up the most environmentally benign coal in the USA.
The action did not require Congressional approval. AFR 20/9/96
