what statements, I cant chose one unless you give me them

Explanation:

Answer:

In North Dakota, where I live, lignite coal is the most prevalent type. It is mined in large strip-mining operations where mining companies use large earth movers to scrape away the topsoil to reveal the lignite underneath. This method is a much safer extraction process than digging deep mine shafts that might collapse.

While the process does get a lot of negative feedback from environmentalists who criticize the scarring of the landscape, once the lignite has been removed, the site can be reshaped, the topsoil can be replaced, new indigenous vegetation can be added, and the site can be reclaimed.

One site in North Dakota has developed a process to manufacture synthetic natural gas from the lignite that can be piped to customers.
