Massey Energy Company

Massey Energy Company was a major U.S. coal mining firm that primarily operated in West Virginia and Virginia. It focused on extracting coal used for electricity generation and steel production. Known for its large underground and surface mines, Massey played a significant role in supplying energy but also faced scrutiny over safety practices and environmental impact. In 2011, it was acquired by Alpha Natural Resources, which integrated its operations into a larger energy company.
