Associated Press: The U.S. Interior Department says it wont fight a judges recommendation for the agency to take a new look at the environmental effects of burning fuel from Montanas largest coal mine. But government attorneys said the work will take longer than the six months proposed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn Ostby. They want eight months to do the work, in a case where environmentalists sued citing climate change and other impacts from coal mining. Spring Creek owner Cloud Peak Energy filed objections...

Macro Business: n a move no doubt to be seized on by the anti-coal lobby, the closely-watched International Energy Agency looks to be preparing to revise down its forecast for coal demand growth. The unexpected slowdown in Chinese coal demand that was particularly evident in 2014 is a factor, but the IEAs director for energy markets and security, Keisuke Sadamori, points more so to the commitments made by countries in their submitted pledges on greenhouse gas emissions before the COP21 global climate talks...

Reuters: The shine is coming off once bright prospects for natural gas as the future fossil fuel of choice in Asia as power companies in India and Southeast Asia tap abundant and cheap domestic coal resources to generate electricity. Asian loyalty to coal is shrinking the space available for natural gas just as supplies are ramping up after massive investments in U.S. and Australian output. Demand growth for natural gas is also slowing in top energy consumer China, further dampening the fuel's prospects....
