Comment EI-19167
Received or sent (printed as 12/27/2012)
I am deeply opposed to any route granted to the Tongue River Railroad for the transport of coal from the Poweder River basin. If the criteria for granting of eminent domain is public convenience and necessity," then eminent domain should not be granted for the purpose of transporting coal for any purpose, including export to Asia. The extraction, transport and burning of coal is environmentally desructive; damaging to the health of children, seniors and others and detrimental to the economy, by promoting higher energy prices and delaying the shift to sustainable and renewable techologies."
