Part of the cost of getting coal out of the ground can be attributed to
the whims of folks who have obviously never been west of the Hudson
River. Seems that after you strip mine coal in the western states you
must restore the ground to a more natural appearing contour. This
requirement was a bit baffling to engineers who would look at a played
out strip mine and the nearby landscape--totally unable to see any
difference between the two.
