His comments are a welcome contrast to policies of the recent past that treated America's largest energy resource as a political liability best left in the ground instead of as an invaluable asset to secure and project the nation's energy dominance. "The Harvey Mine is part of one of the largest underground coal mine complexes in the country and the home to an underground mining training academy. Featuring an array Sierra Club v.
