As West Virginia's coal industry falters, many are putting their hopes on natural gas. Investigative reporter Ken Ward Jr. of the The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports on whether West Virginia is making the same regulatory mistakes with natural gas companies as it did with coal companies. Ward's series is part of Propublica’s Local Reporting Network. His first installment is titled, “The Coal Industry Extracted a Steep Price from West Virginia. Now Natural Gas is Leading the State Down the Same Path.”
