The Utah project is the first expedited coal lease under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The Department of the Interior announced earlier this month that the Bureau of Land Management and USDA’s Forest Service completed a joint environmental review of a major Utah coal project. The Skyline Mine project in central Utah is the first expeditied coal leasing action under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
“This is a critical step in unleashing the full economic potential of our coal resources and delivering reliable, affordable energy to American families,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management Adam Suess. “President Trump made it clear that we will not tie up American energy in red tape. Under his leadership, we’re cutting delays, boosting production, and putting miners back to work.”
The action supports President Trump’s executive order advancing the nation’s clean coal industry and is expected to sustain employment and local economies in Utah.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for Interior Secretary Burgum as he seeks to implement clean coal development under the president’s executive order.
- For Secretary Rollins as she oversees the USDA and collaborates with other federal agencies on environmental reviews of land and energy projects.
