From the hills of West Virginia to the wind-swept prairies of Campbell County, Wyoming, journalists Mason Adams and Dustin Bleizeffer explore the cultural, political and economic obstacles<\/strong> faced by rural communities hoping to survive and thrive in a world without coal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appalachia and Wyoming are dramatically different places, but they also offer each other cautionary tales, success stories, and reasons for resilience and hope<\/strong>. While the story continues to unfold, Reckoning in Coal Country<\/em> provides a snapshot of these communities at a critical inflection point in American history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced in partnership with WyoFile and with funding from the Just Transition Fund, Reckoning in Coal Country<\/em> is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the challenges faced by rural communities in the transition away from fossil fuels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
