Irony Meter Breaks - Canadian Co. Wants To Mine Coal Next To Glacier NP

HELENA - A Canadian company hoping to mine coal just north of Glacier National Park has agreed to give concerned Montana officials more details about the project, the state water management chief said Thursday.

About a dozen people from Montana went to British Columbia this week for a meeting with representatives of Cline Mining Co., and the provincial and Canadian governments.

Rich Moy, chief of the state Water Management Bureau, said he left encouraged even though Cline's information about design and operation of the proposed mine was “sketchy.” The company agreed to provide more information in April, Moy said.

“We're not asking for any new information on the mine design,” he said. “We just want them to do a better job of describing it for us. It's information they already have.”

I've never heard of this "Cline" company.

Could there be a connection bewtween them and Alberta Premier Ralph Klein (noted anti-environmentalist and crony capitalist)?
