In thinking about coal in the region and some of the local views on coal, I suggest you check out the West Virginia Coal Association website (http://www.wvcoal.com).
I particularly encourage you to read Joe Lucas: "Get to Know the Benefits of Coal" Just a little taste, the first two sentences are "A Charleston Gazette article...on the future of coal-fired electric plants suggests that West Virginia's residents may potentially oppose new facilities... The answers may reflect a serious and all-too-common misunderstanding of the issue."
This website shows one of the view points about coal that we will most likely encounter during our time in Appalachia - views that are pretty uncommon around the Stanford campus.
Also, Helen - if you couldn't get enough of The Appalachians it's for rent at Green :)
