Sea Change Radio: Bob Wyss on Black Gold: The Rise, Reign and Fall of American Coal
Update: 2025-08-19
Description
In the 1970s, coal fueled over half of the U.S. electric grid. Today, that number has dipped below 10%. This week on Sea Change Radio we speak with journalist and author, Bob Wyss, whose new book Black Gold: The Rise, Reign and Fall of American Coal, provides an important retelling of the history of coal in this country. We look at the market forces that shaped coals rise, its devastating impact on the environment and human health, and talk about the ludicrous but dangerous attempts by the current Administration to prop up coal even as its on life support.
