As a Montana property owner I am very concerned to see clean, renewable energy development in Montana that will benefit the state's economy, people, and wildlife. To allow the Tongue River Railroad to carry dirty coal across the state, disrupting farms and ranches and sending toxic coal dust across Montana and polluting its clean air and water will profit only the railroad and the coal company. A rigorous analysis must be done to examine the true costs to the state and its residents of allowing the mining and transport of this toxic fossil fuel, the worst driver of climate change, to be burned in China. It is an outrage. Our public officials are paid by taxpayers to represent our best interests, not the profits of corporations.
