===============================================================================
The July/August Sierra magazine is about to appear, and you may be interested in this feature about a serious, major emerging issue for Alaska -- a threat to Alaska's environment--lands, air quality, and more.

It hasn't been well publicized that Alaska has between 40 and 50 percent of the entire country's coal reserves.
