Mr. Blodgett:Re: the Tongue River Railroad in Montana being proposed to haul coal out of the Otter Creek area to Miles City, I strongly urge you to insist on a full environmental impact statement and one that includes the effects of climate change. It is becoming increasingly evident that global climate change is real, that it is impacting cities and communities across the globe and that we cannot continue to ignore its causes and effects. To continue burning coal, be it in Montana or China, makes no sense in the face of an increasing number of alternative energy sources. Let's not burden our children and future generations with problems that could have been avoided by common sense solutions. Montana doesn't need the coal, the US doesn't need the coal, the only purpose in this undertaking is short-term financial gain - at the long-term expense of all of us. Thank you for your consideration. John Werner
