El viernes por la noche, la jueza del Tribunal Federal de Distrito de Billings, Susan Watters gobern\u00f3<\/a> que se aprob\u00f3 ilegalmente una expansi\u00f3n masiva de la mina a cielo abierto de carb\u00f3n Rosebud. La expansi\u00f3n fue aprobada en junio de 2019 por la Oficina Federal de Miner\u00eda de Superficie (OSM) y permiti\u00f3 a Western Rosebud Mining, LLC (WRM) realizar operaciones de miner\u00eda a cielo abierto en una nueva \u00e1rea, conocida como \u00c1rea F.<\/p>\n

El tribunal dictamin\u00f3 que OSM no consider\u00f3 los impactos de esta expansi\u00f3n masiva en los recursos h\u00eddricos, el r\u00edo Yellowstone y el clima. La expansi\u00f3n permitir\u00eda la extracci\u00f3n a cielo abierto de 6500 acres adicionales que contienen alrededor de 70 millones de toneladas de carb\u00f3n, que luego se quemar\u00edan casi exclusivamente en la planta de energ\u00eda de Colstrip y liberar\u00edan m\u00e1s de 100 millones de toneladas de gases de efecto invernadero. Quemar el carb\u00f3n en la central el\u00e9ctrica de Colstrip requiere desviar entre 25 000 y 50 000 acres-pie de agua del r\u00edo Yellowstone cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

El tribunal estuvo de acuerdo con los grupos conservacionistas que se\u00f1alaron que OSM solo se centr\u00f3 en los beneficios econ\u00f3micos de la mina pero ignor\u00f3 los costos ambientales. El intento de OSM de usar juegos de palabras para evitar revelar los abrumadores costos de la expansi\u00f3n de la mina no anul\u00f3 su obligaci\u00f3n de proporcionar un an\u00e1lisis imparcial de los costos y beneficios de la extracci\u00f3n de carb\u00f3n. En prisi\u00f3n preventiva, OSM estar\u00e1 obligado a considerar una alternativa de "t\u00e9rmino medio" que termine con la miner\u00eda del carb\u00f3n en Colstrip.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa corte encontr\u00f3 que OSM una vez m\u00e1s puso su pulgar en la balanza al considerar los beneficios de la mina pero neg\u00e1ndose a revelar los impactos en el terreno que la miner\u00eda y la quema de carb\u00f3n tienen en las aguas del \u00e1rea, la vida silvestre y el clima\u201d, dijo. Melissa Hornbein con el Centro de Derecho Ambiental Occidental<\/strong>. \u201cLa ley no permite ese tipo de juego, y el clima y nuestros recursos h\u00eddricos estresados merecen algo mejor\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOSM tiene la responsabilidad de decirle al p\u00fablico la verdad sobre el da\u00f1o de la miner\u00eda y la quema de carb\u00f3n. Continuamente falla en hacer su trabajo a pesar del lenguaje claro en la ley\u201d, dijo Shiloh Hern\u00e1ndez con Earthjustice<\/strong>. \u201cBajo un an\u00e1lisis claro y honesto, el desarrollo continuo del carb\u00f3n es indefendible. OSM ahora tiene la oportunidad y la obligaci\u00f3n de dise\u00f1ar y analizar una transici\u00f3n en Colstrip que sea solo para la comunidad y el clima\u201d.<\/p>\n

"Esta fue una expansi\u00f3n masiva de la miner\u00eda a cielo abierto para la planta de Colstrip, pero OSM ignor\u00f3 en gran medida los impactos en los recursos h\u00eddricos y c\u00f3mo la expansi\u00f3n contribuir\u00eda a la cat\u00e1strofe clim\u00e1tica que estamos experimentando en Montana y en todo el pa\u00eds". dijo Derf Johnson, subdirector del Centro de Informaci\u00f3n Ambiental de Montana<\/strong>. \u201cEl agua es el alma de este estado. Las operaciones de la mina, as\u00ed como la inevitable quema del carb\u00f3n, causar\u00e1n da\u00f1os irreversibles en Montana y r\u00edo abajo. OSM qued\u00f3 atrapada haciendo las \u00f3rdenes de la industria minera en lugar de hacer el trabajo de la gente\u201d.<\/p>\n

El caso, presentado en noviembre de 2019, fue el resultado de la preocupaci\u00f3n constante de que OSM ignor\u00f3 los profundos impactos que resultan de la miner\u00eda a cielo abierto en un \u00e1rea tan grande y c\u00f3mo la quema de ese carb\u00f3n contribuir\u00e1 a la ya grave crisis clim\u00e1tica. El \u00c1rea F aumentar\u00eda el tama\u00f1o de la mina a m\u00e1s de 30,000 acres, un \u00e1rea m\u00e1s grande que Billings. La mina de carb\u00f3n Rosebud suministra carb\u00f3n exclusivamente a la planta de energ\u00eda de Colstrip, que es el mayor contaminador de gases de efecto invernadero en Montana y uno de los m\u00e1s grandes en el oeste de los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n

Las minas de carb\u00f3n en todo el pa\u00eds y en Montana est\u00e1n cerrando debido a la disminuci\u00f3n de la demanda, y los propietarios de 70% de la planta de energ\u00eda Colstrip buscan salir de la planta a fines de 2025. Las recientes expansiones da\u00f1an las aguas, que los ganaderos, agricultores y la vida silvestre necesitar\u00e1n. mucho tiempo despu\u00e9s de que la mina ya no est\u00e9 en funcionamiento.<\/p>\n

\u201cDesde las inundaciones de Yellowstone hasta las tierras agr\u00edcolas y ganaderas afectadas por la sequ\u00eda, el cambio clim\u00e1tico est\u00e1 cobrando un precio cada vez mayor en el medio ambiente y la econom\u00eda de Montana\u201d, dijo David Merrill, organizador s\u00e9nior de Sierra Club.<\/strong> \u201cLa energ\u00eda solar y e\u00f3lica combinada con bater\u00edas y otros componentes pueden proporcionar la misma electricidad, con la misma confiabilidad que el carb\u00f3n o el gas, por menos dinero. \u00bfQu\u00e9 estamos esperando?"<\/p>\n

La extracci\u00f3n de carb\u00f3n para obtener energ\u00eda es la forma m\u00e1s sucia de producir electricidad. Varios analiza<\/a> muestran que si las reservas de combustibles f\u00f3siles existentes est\u00e1n completamente desarrolladas, la contaminaci\u00f3n de esas fuentes impulsar\u00e1 el calentamiento por encima de 1,5 grados cent\u00edgrados. Evitar tal calentamiento requiere finalizando<\/a> nuevas inversiones en proyectos de combustibles f\u00f3siles. Si se quemara el carb\u00f3n de la expansi\u00f3n de la mina Rosebud, se producir\u00edan aproximadamente 120 millones de toneladas de emisiones relacionadas con los gases de efecto invernadero, que es el equivalente neto de 29 millones de veh\u00edculos de pasajeros que se conducen durante un a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

\u201cEn este momento, nos cuesta m\u00e1s pagar los da\u00f1os causados por el cambio clim\u00e1tico que generar energ\u00eda limpia\u201d. dijo Jeff Smith, copresidente de 350 Montana.<\/strong> \u201cTenemos la tecnolog\u00eda. Tenemos el dinero. Y, en Montana, contamos con los trabajadores calificados para hacer esta transici\u00f3n. Y nuestra investigaci\u00f3n dice La energ\u00eda m\u00e1s limpia de Montana es tambi\u00e9n la energ\u00eda m\u00e1s barata de Montana<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo podemos seguir extrayendo m\u00e1s carb\u00f3n y tener alguna posibilidad de enfrentar la crisis clim\u00e1tica\u201d, dijo Jeremy Nichols, director del programa de clima y energ\u00eda de WildEarth Guardians<\/strong>. \u201cEste \u00faltimo fallo judicial da una nueva esperanza para una transici\u00f3n completa lejos del costoso carb\u00f3n en Montana y m\u00e1s all\u00e1\u201d.<\/p>\n
