COAL

A teenager practices on his skateboard at a lonely skate park on the Crow Reservation at Crow Agency, Montana, Thursday, May 16, 2013. Pending new ports for shipment to Asia through either the U.S. or Canada, Cloud Peak Energey hopes to open new high-grade coal mines on and near the Crow Reservation in southern Montana. The tribe is equally hopeful the new mines would bring long-awaited economic stability to the tribe. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
