US rejects bid to lease coal from public lands in Utah as sales in western states fall flat
The Interior Department rejected the bid for failing to meet Mineral Leasing Act standards amid declining coal demand and environmental opposition, marking the third failed western coal sale this month.
- The US Interior Department rejected the sole bid it received for coal on a proposed lease near Utah's Skyline Mine because it did not meet the requirements of the Mineral Leasing Act.
- On October 6th, a coal sale from public lands in Montana drew a single bid of $186,000, about one-tenth of a penny per ton, and was rejected.
- Environmentalists have fought for years against the expansion of Utah's Skyline Mine, as emissions from burning coal are a leading driver of climate change.
