With the recent successes in stopping the further expansion of coal-based energy, activists direly need a complete list of proposed mining projects.
While SourceWatch.org already hosts the CoalSwarm database with all sorts of information about coal plants across different states, it’s lacking information on proposed coal mines. Legal opposition and community protests have been shown to work, so if you live in a coal mining area please add any known projects to this wiki list.
