A new Department of Energy report looks at Appalachia's energy resources, the opportunities and challenges they present and "steps that can be taken to increase the positive economic impact from these opportunities in parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky," says the Appalachian Regional Commission.
