Court ruling stalls strip mining push in Northern Plains
A U S District Court of Appeals stayed a lower court ruling allowing four Wyoming strip mining leases, signifying a delay that redirects coal focus back to Appalachia. The decision hinges on whether a broad environmental impact study of the Northern Great Plains is required under the National Environmental Policy Act. If upheld, the delay could last a year and influence potential federal strip mining legislation and energy policy.

Lopez describes the storekeeper as a friendly custodian who acts rather than develops business. He ranks lowest among roles, while the controller sits above him and is praised for persistence and rule adherence. The ideal leader is people-created, adept at dealing with others and the boss.
