Richard Bass (who owns the prominent Utah ski resort Snowbird) has partnered with Howard Hunt to form PacRim Coal, a Delaware mining company that is proposing a large surface coal mine with the hope of feeding coal markets in the Pacific Rim countries. Environmental studies and estimates on the mine proposal show that it would produce over 12 million tons of coal annually, which when burned would emit over 54 billion pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Watch the video to find out more and join us in the fight to stop this short-sighted, environmentally destructive project.
