Between 2009 and 2019, West Virginian politicians aligned
themselves with the interests of the coal industry to the
substantial detriment of the citizens and economy of the state.
Despite the undeniable low-carbon transformation that was occurring
in the energy industry in the US during this period, state
political leaders doubled down on coal. Rather than provide the
leadership necessary to manage the transition of the state's
economic drivers away from fossil fuels, they largely blamed the
demise of the coal industry on the federal government. At every
turn, the interests of the coal industry were placed above the
economic and environmental health of West Virginians. James Van
Nostrand tells the story of why West Virginia now faces
overwhelming obstacles to competing in the economic marketplace of
the twenty-first century. The book serves as a warning of how a
fair energy transition can be derailed by political failure.
