  • Our Pain, Their Gain
    Our Pain, Their Gain Mountains Destroyed for Coal Shipped Overseas NOTE: This report has not been officially adopted by the Committee on Natural Resources and may not necessarily reflect the views of its Members. Released: July 19, 2012 Our Pain, Their Gain Mountains Destroyed for Coal Shipped Overseas One of the coal industry’s favorite ads in recent years displays an orange power cord plugged directly into a piece of coal. The picture is accompanied by words assuring the viewer that coal is cheap, reliable and a key to the nation’s domestic energy security. The message for Americans is that coal equals electricity in the United States, and to tamper with that would be to tamper with our way of life. A more truthful ad would unplug the power cord and replace it with an oceangoing freightliner bound for steel mills and power plants across Europe, South A growing body of research 1 America, China and India. The image of the ship shows that mountaintop leaving an export terminal would then dissolve into removal mines not only ruin the naked remains of what used to be a majestic ecosystems but cause Appalachian mountain.

  • Labor Has a Long Memory”: Transformations in Capitalism and Labor Organizing in Central Appalachia, 1977-2019
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: “LABOR HAS A LONG MEMORY”: TRANSFORMATIONS IN CAPITALISM AND LABOR ORGANIZING IN CENTRAL APPALACHIA, 1977-2019 David Heim, Master of Arts in History, 2019 Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Freund, Associate Professor, History In 1989 the UMWA went on strike against Pittston Coal. In response to declining union power and corporate anti-unionism, the UMWA embraced community members and women as participants in its striking strategy. Although sometimes reluctant to do so, the union accepted the involvement of non-miners in non-violent demonstrations and civil disobedience, and was successful because of the strategic shift. The victory against Pittston Coal in 1989 suggests that scholars cannot rule industrial unions as sites of resistance to capitalism after 1982. The union’s acceptance of community organizing in 1989 also suggests a link between the strategies and success of the Pittston Strike and more recent organizing victories in West Virginia—the West Virginia Teachers’ Strikes. More recent labor militancy in Appalachia has also built off of legacies of resistance dating back to events like the Paint Creek Mine War and the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1912 and 1921. “LABOR HAS A LONG MEMORY”: TRANSFORMATIONS IN CAPITALISM AND LABOR ORGANIZING IN CENTRAL APPALACHIA, 1977-2019 by David Heim Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2019 Advisory Committee: Dr. David Freund, Chair Dr. Julie Greene Dr. Robyn Muncy © Copyright by David Heim 2019 Acknowledgements My research on Appalachia has been equal parts personal and scholarly.

  • Planning for Coal Mine Closure in the Powder River Basin New Analytical Model Reveals Which Remaining Mines and Communities Are Most at Risk from Unplanned Shutdown
    Planning for coal mine closure in the Powder River Basin New analytical model reveals which remaining mines and communities are most at risk from unplanned shutdown May 2021 | By Dan Cohn It’s said that the Stone Age didn’t end because of a lack of stone. Just so, the massive coal seams underlying the rangelands of Wyoming and Montana will outlast profitable coal mining. Five decades after the onset of major strip mining in what became the country’s most productive coal region, the Powder River Basin, coal communities find themselves in the midst of a well-known shift dubbed the “Seneca Effect:” although growth is slow and incremental, collapse is comparatively sudden.1 Since hitting peak coal output in 2010, Powder River Basin coal production has fallen by half in a decade. Against this backdrop of rapid decline, Sightline has developed an analytical model to assess which coal mines in the region are most at risk of closure. The findings reveal a stark reality: each mine in the region saw its domestic customers burn less coal in 2020 than they had averaged for the three years prior. Some of the reductions proved to be catastrophic. Of the two mines that saw the steepest declines in customers’ coal burn in 2020, one has already been permanently closed and another has announced plans to close permanently. The basin’s remaining coal mines face an array of challenging circumstances. Largely for financial reasons, utility companies and electricity markets alike now largely prioritize natural gas, wind, and solar over coal, leading to the retirement of many coal plants, an end to new coal plant construction, and a dramatic decline in coal burn.
