thank you and you goodnight because everything will be I now see. My master at that. That's noble. Thank you. This is the high plains new service special edition. Energy people
power and politicians. I'm Chuck Christiansen. Energy it's taken for granted by most of what's available at the flick of a switch or at the pump in unlimited quantities. We only think about energy when costs go up or it's in short supply. Then it's painfully clear how dependent we are in expensive dependable sources. Of energy. People Power Politics examines the role of energy in the West. Its effect on our people and economies how it influences government decisions and why some Westerners are taking energy policy into their own hands. Wyoming is the largest coal producer in the U.S. it's prized low sulfur coal lies and thick seams throughout the Powder River Basin in the northeast portion of the state. A
coal boom hit 20 years ago but then the market slowed. This may be changing with uncertainty in our nation's energy plan. New clean air standards and shifts in market demand. With this in mind six companies have applied for Federal Coal leases totaling one billion tons. But as High Plains News producer Mary Boyle reports these leases and the current process of leasing Federal Coal are being challenged. Each year endless trains haul 160 million tons of rich black coal from Wyoming's Powder River Basin to coal fired power plants throughout the country. But the fate of this abundant resource has industry. State officials and environmentalists at odds when a 1990 amendment to the Clean Air Act required utilities to lower sulfur emissions hopes were raised in the Powder River Basin. But a recent Department of Energy report indicates the shift to Wyoming's coal may not be as significant as predicted. It forecasts only about a 3 percent production shipped to Wyoming.
The mining industry in the state understand the reality of the coal market but still view the next two to five years as a crucial window of opportunity. Marian Loomis is the executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association. We don't anticipate it certainly but hopefully there will be some additional contracts. If we can compete for me I think you're recommending. Thank you thank you. Recently six companies have applied for federal Coley says which total about 1 billion tons. However the first of these leases are being appealed by three state environmental groups. The Powder River Basin Resource Council the Wyoming Outdoor Council.
