[lbo-talk] Obama Administration Approves Permit for Mountaintop Removal Coal Mine

"The Obama administration rings in the new year by allowing coal companies  
to bury more miles of streams," said Joan Mulhern, senior legislative  
counsel for Earthjustice. "There is no excuse for approving this permit  
when the science is clear that mountaintop removal coal mining permanently  
destroys streams. The administration claims to be making progress on  
mountaintop removal, but in reality they are still following the flawed  
policies put in place by the Bush administration. It is time for them to  
make a commitment to ending this abominable practice."
