The Tongue River Valley is at stake...the Valley of the Chiefs. Archeological sites abound...springs, wildlife, water diversity, native plants/food, berries, bugs, animals, etc. The rich Northern Cheyenne culture will be impacted. The grreat Cheyenne Nation...the Morningstar People have much to give, while our communities are not prepared and do not have infrastructure in place...no irrigation systems, wind/solar power, cogen, etc., no business...I am against this railroad and projected coal mine, which I think will not be constructed. its a losing business and is not a solution to pollution; it is an end of pipe solution to more pollution. Technological advancements in enery development overshadow Fischer Tropsch gasification process. We can make energy from other sustainable sources and $100 of millions from other developments.
