[Phantom Lord]

in 1996 President Clinton put 68 billion tons of America’s cleanest-burning coal, located in Utah, off-limits for mining, ostensibly for environmental reasons.

WRONG! Clinton put it off limits as a campaign cash pay off to Riadi (sp?). Guess who has the 2nd largest reserve... Indonesia!

Phantom Lord the story agrees with your point..

Clinton put 68 billion tons of America’s cleanest-burning coal, located in Utah, off-limits for mining, ostensibly for environmental reasons ........
.....Now power companies must import clean-burning coal, some from mines owned by Indonesia’s Lippo Group, the heavy contributor to Clinton, whose decision about Utah’s coal vastly increased the value of Lippo’s coal.

ostensibly = supposedly = appears to be (but not really)
