The White House is expected to unveil such plans Friday, just three days after President Barack Obama pledged in his State of the Union Address to "change the way we manage our oil and coal resources, so that they better reflect the costs they impose on taxpayers and our planet."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_coal_mining.jpg
