Socioeconomic Impacts Associated with Mineral Exploration: Louisiana Versus Other Mineral-Producing States.
Davis, Donald W.
International Journal of Social Education, v5 n2 p63-76 Fall 1990
Compares differences in resource exploitation and energy development in Louisiana and western mineral-producing states. Identifies socioeconomic impacts of Louisiana's offshore drilling and western coal, oil, and natural gas mining, noting the boom and bust cycles and "hyperurbanization" that attends both. Stresses the necessity of balancing national energy needs with regional and environmental health. (CH)
