Rally against BLM Coal Leasing
July 30, 2014 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am
The federal Bureau of Land Management Colorado office will be “leasing” (think “giving away”) some of the public’s coal–coal that will likely find its way into the export market….
The lease is for 8.97 million tons to expand the Bowie 2 mine near Paonia, Colorado.
The last time the Colorado BLM “leased” some of the public’s extremely high quality Colorado coal to help warm our planet etc. they did so for 25 cents/ton…

4 tons of coal = Price of 1 pack of (cheap) gum…

Please let Colorado Senators Udall and Bennett know what you think about the BLM “leasing” the public’s coal for (a lot) less than a pack of gum and then allowing it to be sent overseas to be turned into carbon dioxide that will disrupt the climate of the only planet we know that supports life…
