Both here in eastern PA and over yonder in western PA, the Appalachian mountains have provided a unique and ever-changing role for the folks living near and among them.

The one thing that needs to be added as a discussion point when it comes to PA though, is that Marcellus shale field out west, as that seems to be a bump in the road to moving to non-fossil fuels. And we can't even get it taxed to at least provide some significant revenue in the state coffers thanks to the GOP.
