This is a BIG DEAL! We just stopped massive coal mining plans in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana in its tracks! A federal judge has struck down two U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) resource management plans that failed to address the public health consequences of allowing massive amounts of coal, oil, and gas production from public lands and minerals in the Powder River Basin. This is significant as over 43% of all coal produced in the U.S., and over 85% of all federal coal produced in the U.S., comes from the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana. A huge thanks to our partners at Western Organization of Resource Councils, Montana Environmental Information Center, Powder River Basin Resource Council, Northern Plains Resource Council, Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club, Earthjustice and Western Environmental Law Center! #WeAreGuardians #AForceForNature #KeepItInTheGround #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #ActOnClimate #NoNewLeases #ClimateJustice #Coal #CoalMining #Wyoming #Montana #montanamoment #PowderRiver #PowderRiverBasin
