Expanding coal extraction in Montana or anywhere in the US is a mistake. The country is currently transitioning to cleaner burning natural gas, and many utilities are selling off their coal-fired plants, particularly in light of their pollution and greenhouse gas liabilities. The construction of the proposed of the rail spur will also impact the connectivity of native fish & wildlife populations, in addition to associated mortality and the risk of pollution due to inherent coal loss and worse - potential derailment. Sincerely, Chris RIley
