Coal Mining Employment Impacts from Acid Rain Controls
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2017
Abstract
The U.S. Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works is considering legislative proposals to reduce emissions of long-range transport air pollutants which may be a major factor in acid depostion. Preliminary results indicate that these proposals will have substantial impacts on coal production and employment in northern Appalachia, a region with long-standing structural unemployment problems.
