When the President signed the Executive Order designating 1.7 million acres of land in southwest Utah as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, his action placed the area off limits to mineral extraction and development.
The New York Times reported that the monument encloses the largest coal field in the nation, the Kaiparowitz Plateau, which contains at least 7 billion tons of coal worth over $1 TRILLION.
Kentucky-based company Andalux Resources, which holds leases on 3,400 acres in the area, was planning to open a huge operation (underground, not strip mining) that would have generated 1,000 jobs, $1 million in annual revenue for Kane County, and at least $10 million a year in state and federal taxes, according to the New York Times. Folks living in the area wore black arm bands the day o the signing - but Clinton didn't see them. He chose to make his announcement in a neighboring state. WHY?
…
Besides the Kaiparowitz Plateau, there are only two other known locations in the world where comparable coal is found in sufficient quantities to make mining it worthwhile. Colombia in South America is one, but it'll be years before the necessary mining and shipping infrastructure is built.
The other? You got it. Indonesia.
That's right - the coal fields of South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Big plans are online for its development. Indonesia has been a source of coal for over a century, but the coal varies sharply in terms of quality. Recently, however, a coal that is very low in sulfur has been discovered. A number of coal companies are already there, and it's a good bet Lippo Group money is involved. A major company is Adaro Indonesia, of which 20 percent is owned by the Spanish government, 50 percent by New Hope Corp., an Australian firm.

Devotees of Washington politics will recall the huge campaign funding scandal that broke out around Bill's re-election in 1996. An Indonesian tycoon, James Riady, was revealed to have funnelled money to Bill and other Democrats by getting his Lippo Group to reimburse donors operating as fronts, to avoid restrictions on foreign political donations. There were conspiracy theories that the Chinese communists were behind the ethnic Chinese Indonesian.

“The fact that the Riadys were involved in a corruption scandal in the U.S. involving the Clintons is unimportant compared to the leverage the Clinton connection gives the Riadys in Jakarta business and government circles.
“To avoid a devastating scandal, Barack Obama should place the Riadys high on the Clinton Watch List of sordid relationships and potential political land mines.”

Indonesia recently said it wanted to ban the book “Legacy of Ashes: The history of the CIA” by Tim Weiner because it alleges that Adam Malik, who later became Indonesia’s vice president, had been controlled by the CIA in the 1960s.
The United States was increasingly alarmed by former president Sukarno’s pro-communist stance at that time. In 1965, general Suharto seized power in a coup, followed by an anti-communist purge in which as many as 500,000 people died.
