The Appalachian mountains are older than the Himalayas, an American treasure rich in biodiversity. In the form of coal, these mountains supply 35% of our nation's electricity, expected to double by 2030. DEEP DOWN looks at the centuries-old complexities behind the fight for this black rock that fuels our nation.
