FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — A Senate vote Thursday would restore mining industry access to government-owned coal in the most productive U.S. region, a policy reversal from President Joe Biden that is likely to get President Donald Trump's signature. The bill for the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming, source of about 40% of the nation's coal, is one of a handful promoting fossil fuels in the Republican-majority Congress. Others seek to open up parts of Alaska, Montana and North Dakota to more drilling and mining.
