  11. ‘Mine, Baby, Mine’: Trump Officials Offer $625 Million to Rescue #Coal
    The new effort, which includes opening 13.1 million acres of #federalland for #mining and eliminating #pollution limits, aims to save an industry that has been declining for decades.
    Coal use has been declining sharply in the #UnitedStates since 2005, displaced in many cases by cheaper and cleaner #naturalgas, #wind and #solar power.

  14. Edit: since YouTube thumbnails are perpetually busted (for me at least) on Masto, it may not be clear what I am linking to below. This video covers the Explore Act that was signed into law this year.

    This seems like good news. No drones, but film & photography in National Parks and other federal land looks like they’ve adopted a “just don’t be a jerk” approach. #ExploreAct #FederalLand #PublicLand #VideoCreator

  15. #Vance says we should build houses on #FederalLand to solve the #HousingCrisis. Name one competitive housing market with any federal land to speak of. I can count them on one hand. Opening imperiled #forest and #desert #habitat to exploitation by #RealEstate developers, further enclosing and privatizing the #commons, (1) won’t solve the housing crisis, but (2) will accelerate the #biodiversity and #MassExtinction crises.

  20. Tribes Invited to “Co-Steward” #FederalLand Would Rather “Co-Manage” It
    The difference involves “decision-making authority.”

    What’s the difference between #Indigenous nations co-managing or co-stewarding their land? A lot.
    Being a "steward" of the land isn't enough for Native peoples.

  21. #EnergyTransition: The US is putting enough #solar to power 70,000 homes on old nuclear weapons sites electrek.co/2024/06/05/us-sola #USpol

    "US Department of Energy is going to repurpose sites previously used in the #NuclearWeapons program into #SolarFarms... These are the first projects as part of the #Biden's Cleanup to #CleanEnergy initiative, launched in 2023, in which portions of #FederalLand previously used in the US nuclear #weapons program will be repurposed into clean #energy sites."

    #Gold, #silver and #lithium #mining on #FederalLand doesn’t bring in any royalties to the US Treasury – because of an 1872 law

    Story by Sam Kalen, 2/25/2024

    "Today, mining is a high-technology industry, but it is still governed by the Mining Law of 1872. As was true 150 years ago, companies can mine valuable mineral deposits from federal lands without paying any royalties to the U.S. Treasury.

    "Even when lands that formerly were available for mining receive new protected status as national parks or monuments, the 1872 mining law protects existing mining claims on those lands. That’s why a company called Energy Fuels Inc. just started mining uranium in January 2024 at a site in Arizona 10 miles from the Grand Canyon and inside a new national monument.

    [...]

    "Reform advocates support adopting the type of traditional leasing model that is used for most other resources on public lands in the U.S. and elsewhere. As an example, for oil and gas production on federal lands and offshore in federal waters, agencies identify areas with development potential and hold competitive auctions to lease parcels for exploration and development.

    "Reformists also favor tighter environmental safeguards that would address issues such as management and disposal of mining wastes. Finally, they argue that mining should be prohibited in areas that are ecologically sensitive or are important to Indigenous peoples or tribal nations."
