The Coal Trap (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781108830584)

"Introduction: "The Lost Decade" This book examines the impact of developments in the energy industry, and the associated political dynamics, in Central Appalachia - primarily West Virginia - over the ten years from 2009 to 2019, a period I refer to as "the lost decade." At the outset, it is worth answering the questions that are posed by the scope of this book: Why the energy industry? Why West Virginia? Why the years 2009 to 2019? And what does the "coal trap" mean? This introduction answers those questions, and provides a preview of what I will cover in the remainder of the book"--
