Though his bill carries the names of 35 co-sponsors from 16 states, no one expects Congress to pass it. Until other safe energy sources are developed, the nation's power plants demand the cheap coal that stripping can provide. Other critics urge that mined-out areas become garbage dumps for nearby cities which have a pressing need for disposal grounds.
