"Let's not forget Clinton's EO making the biggest coal deposits on Earth off limits when he turned a wasteland into a national park."

Well, technically it's a National Monument, but ...

Grand Staircase/Escalante does contain the world's largest reserves of low-sulphur coal - now off-limits to mining. That leaves the old X42-(i) buddies the Riadys left holding the next largest reserves in Indonesia. It was one of the biggest payoffs if not THE biggest in history.

It's a monument all right. Just not an environmental monument. Its a monument to how hopelessly fuzzy thinking the soccer mom vote is.
