* '''Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument:''' Established in 1996 during the Clinton administration, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah effectively placed 11.375 billion tons of recoverable coal on reserve. That amount of coal is sufficient to provide a lifetime supply to 165 500-megawatt coal plants running at an 85 percent capacity factor.<ref>[http://rutledge.caltech.edu/ "Hubbert's Peak, The Coal Question, and Climate Change," slide 52,] Dave Rutledge, videotaped lecture and accompanying PowerPoint slides, October 2007</ref><ref>[http://geology.utah.gov/online/c/c-93/gsekcoal.htm "Summary of the Coal Resources of Kaiparowits Plateau and Its Value,"] Utah Geological Survey, 10/9/96</ref><ref>[http://geology.utah.gov/online/c/c-93/gseprocl.htm "Establishment of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument,"] Presidential Proclamation, September 18, 1996</ref>
