Coal Strip Mine near Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah Approved
By Rocky Thompson on August 5th, 2010
A soulless coal company won a victory over humanity on Tuesday when a Utah state board approved them to strip mine 440 acres of private land near Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The company of small-minded people with only short-term profits where their hearts should be, Alton Coal Development LLC, said that the board’s approval of the mine validates all their scientific research.
Alton appeared to get fast-track approval after complaining in a meeting with Herbert that regulators were taking too long to make their decision. The company opened its application for a permit in 2005.
A company representative sat down with Herbert Sept. 17, 2009, the same day the governor’s campaign was depositing a $10,000 contribution from the coal company.
Well – I’m sure that’s a coincidence and had nothing to do with the approval.

Jackasses! This should be outlawed. These people should put on horses kicked out to the desert and hunted like old school bandits! WTF!
