US greens group declares war on Ambre Energy - The Australian

IN the American northwest, where a fierce battle is brewing between action groups and miners over plans for rapid coal development, Ambre Energy is considered by many to be an Australian mining giant, up there with BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals Group.

In Australia, for those with a passing interest, a cash-strapped junior miner in a hurry comes closer to mind. And Ambre's biggest claim to headlines so far in Australia was when its only planned local project was scrapped by the incoming Queensland Newman government as part of an election promise.
