Research Questions
• What factors will impact coal production in the coming decade, and how will WV be affected?
• What are the employment trends in the mining industry for the state?
• How are different parts of WV (which mine different types of coal) vulnerable to these changes?

Pressures on Coal
• Low Natural Gas Prices• Environmental Regulations• Declining Productivity• Competition with Other Regions• Competition with Renewables and Efficiency• Economic Recession and Excess Capacity• Climate Change Policy

Methods
• Considered different EIA scenarios for coal production through 2020
• Estimated WV production based on average from previous three years
• Conducted multi-regional analysis using an input-output model to gauge employment and output impacts
