Sommario/riassunto

'Struggling for Air' offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the Obama administration policies that have become known as the 'war on coal.' Unconventionally, the authors trace the origins of this 'war' to a fateful decision made by Congress almost half a century ago, when it passed the Clean Air Act of 1970.
