Elk Valley Coal News · Alberta Study Claims Mines Spreading Toxic Organic Contaminants - Elk Valley Coal NewsA new Alberta study claims that the Elk Valley coal mines are spreading toxic organic contaminants and potentially effecting ecosystems. The new study concludes, “Coal dust is clearly being transported atmospherically over the Continental Divide and deposited far from the emission sources.” In Sparwood, coal dust sometimes coats everything in a fine black powder. While […]

"…we have a solid foundation that brings the monitoring of ship emissions based on satellite data much closer. There is still research to be done to see how much we can improve the extraction quality from the satellite signal." Kurchaba says…"At SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, I'm currently working with Tropomi…developing methods using machine learning to detect #methane plumes from #superemitters like #coalmines, #landfills, and the #oilandgas industry."

In the Dirty Business of Faking Green, a Third #Arizona Tribe Sues #DebHaaland for Desecration

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
August 13, 2024

"In the dirty business of faking #GreenEnergy, Interior Department head Deb Haaland is being sued by the #Hualapai Tribe for approval of a #LithiumMine targeting their #SacredSpring. It is the same lithium mine where an Australian company has hired the head of a #NavajoNation enterprise to lead the drilling for lithium and violating the sacred.

"Deb Haaland, #LagunaPueblo, is now being sued by three tribes in Arizona for ongoing destruction of religious and historic places, sacred places where #TohonoOodham, #SanCarlosApache , and Hualapai have offered their prayers since time immemorial.

"In the lawsuit, Hualapai tell of the drilling for lithium, and the way the Interior's Bureau of Land Management concealed the plans for the lithium mine."

[...]

"The Tohono O'odham and San Carlos Apache Nations filed for a restraining order on Haaland, which was denied by a Tucson federal judge, but the tribes continue the legal battle. Haaland, present at the groundbreaking of #PatternEnergy's wind project, is promoting the #SunZia transmission line to take wind energy from New Mexico to California, now cutting a path of destruction across pristine regions of the Southwest. Pattern Energy in San Francisco is owned by the #CanadaPensionFund.

"The mainstream media is also concealing the fact that the CEO of the #NavajoNation enterprise which claims to be transitioning to green energy is heading the project to desecrate Hualapai's sacred ceremonial place. The so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany also owns #CoalMines in Wyoming and Montana.

"The Navajo Transitional Energy Company stated in March that it had signed the mining agreement and its CEO #Vern Lund would lead the mining operation for the Australian company."

“At a time when we are experiencing the catastrophic impacts of #climatechange — severe #droughts, massive #forestfires, extreme heat waves — this is no time to allow a massive thermal #coalmine to be expanding. Doing so would mean turning the dial to high intensity on the climate impacts we are already experiencing, putting society and #Indigenous Nations at further risk.” ecojustice.ca/news/community-g

Mountaintop coal mine in Kentucky to become a #SolarFarm » Yale Climate Connections yaleclimateconnections.org/202 “Across Appalachia, #CoalMines are closing. And people are trying to figure out what to do with former mine lands, including mountaintops that were blasted off to get to the coal underneath.

Albrecht: “So you end up with this almost like plateau-like landscape … with hundreds of acres at a time that are almost pancake flat.” (1/3)

Australians Rush to Mine #Lithium in #Hualapai's Sacred Place, and a #Navajo Enterprise Plans to Lead the Desecration

For the Interior, BLM, and foreign mining corporations, they have little to worry about, because they know the federal judges are on the same team. They are ready to violate all federal laws protecting Native sacred sites, endangered species, and the water for mining.

SYDNEY, Australia -- "While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, investors hear how much money they can make mining lithium in #Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager is excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its #CopperMines.

"'They are a mining friendly state,' says Paul Lloyd, managing director at #ArizonaLithium, based in Perth, #Australia. 'They are very pro-lithium production.'

"On the other side of the world, Hualapai are offering prayers at their sacred spring, Ha’Kamwe’ their #SacredPlace for healing and rites of passage, including childbirth and coming-of-age ceremonies for young women. It has been their ceremonial place since time immemorial.

"Not far away, in Farmington, New Mexico -- a bordertown with a long history of crimes against #NativeAmericans -- a new epicenter of fake green energy projects emerges.

"The tribally-owned #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany is ready to rush in, get the drilling permits, drill, and poison the water, just a stone's throw from Hualapai's sacred hot spring.

"Vern Lund, the CEO, of the so-called 'transitional energy company' signed a formal agreement with Australia's Arizona Lithium in March, which includes joining its board. Lund is already on the board of another mining company in Texas.

"The fact is, the Navajo enterprise owns four #CoalMines, among the most polluting industries in the world. It's a fact the new green energy company seldom mentions, and is polluting the Rocky Mountain region. It owns both the Antelope coal mine and #CorderoRojo coal mine in Wyoming, the #SpringCreek coal mine in Montana, and the #NavajoMine on the Navajo Nation."

Jharkhand’s “Just Transition” Remains On Paper As State Opens New Coal Mines, Fails to Shut Old Ones

In 2022, Jharkhand became the first state in the country to constitute a 'Just Transition' framework that would focus on reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting green energy, but instead of seeing efforts being made to close down coal mines, more projects have been opened in the state.

@RichForrest2 thanks for Sharing! The lack of political will to take responsibility and action is mind-blowing 🤯 these fossil fuel corps are playing the numbers game to bypass the need for an environmental impact statement, and then doing the same thing next door!? QLD politicians meanwhile ignoring the problem - looking at you, Steven Miles, do your job FFS - because the coal is not going to add to 'our' emissions... except that it's the same bloody atmosphere! 🌏 Planet destroying bureaucratic dumbfuckery at its best. At least it's being called out now, but the fact that it has gotten this far is infuriating. I'm longing for a world where disastrous proposals like these get nipped in the bud 🙅

From the article:
"The mine is one of several applications that has been able to sidestep the EIS requirement as it is under the 2m tonne annual threshold.

Vitrinite will mine 1.95m tonnes of coal each year or up to 13.5m tonnes over a nine-year period.

The company has already been granted approval for an adjacent mine, Vulcan, in March 2022 that will also produce 1.95m tonnes each year."
