@femmebot noticed in #1933 that some of our apostrophes are uneducated (' vs. ). I did a cursory search and found a bunch of instances:

_case-studies/campbell.md:166:[^27]: Wyoming Legislature, [Wyoming's Water Development Program (PDF)](http://legisweb.state.wy.us/progeval/REPORTS/2015/WWDCScoping8-7-2015b.pdf), 2015
_case-studies/greenlee.md:25:> Copper is a major industrial metal used in construction, electronics, transportation, industrial machinery, and consumer products. In 2014, the U.S. was the world’s fourth-largest copper producer, mining 1.127 million tons of copper worth a total value of approximately $9.7 billion.[^1] Of the five major copper-producing states (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Montana), Arizona increased production most in 2014. Arizona's copper output totaled 893,000 {{ "metric tons" | term_end:"metric ton" }}, or 66% of the national total.[^2] Copper represented 89% of the total value of mining in Arizona, with Greenlee and Pima counties generating the majority of that production.[^3] If Arizona were a country, it would be the seventh largest copper producer in the world.[^4]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:25:> The U.S. has experienced rapid change in domestic oil production since 2008, when crude oil production reached a low of 3.98 million {{ "bbl" | term:"barrel" }} per day. Just five years later, the U.S. had nearly doubled its daily production output, with Texas and North Dakota driving much of the growth.[^1] [^2] Alaska did not experience the same production boom, with crude oil output steadily declining over the past decade.[^3] In spite of that downward trend, Alaska remained  the fourth largest state producer of crude oil in 2015, and the nation's largest oil-producing county is Alaska's North Slope Borough.[^4]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:33:The North Slope Borough is the country's largest organized local jurisdiction, spanning more than 94,000 miles north of the Arctic Circle (66th parallel). Its 9,703 residents, most of whom are Inupiat Alaskan Natives, are spread across eight separate communities.[^5] The northern coast of Alaska was documented as a potential oil-producing region as early as 1900. However, the borough's government was not formally incorporated until 1972, soon after the discovery of oil at Prudhoe Bay, the largest single oil field in North America.[^6] [^7]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:35:Oil production increased dramatically in 1977 with the opening of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which provided an economically viable way to transport large amounts of crude oil from the North Slope to market. In 1994, ARCO identified another significant deposit at the Alpine Field, located on state land east of the Colville River and extending into the federally administered National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska. The North Slope's Prudhoe Bay, Alpine Field, and Kuparuk River constitute the majority of the state of Alaska's oil production. Today, the borough's oil reserve base is extensive, with approximately six billion barrels (bbl) of proved oil.[^8]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:39:In 2014, the North Slope Borough produced 174.5 million bbl of oil on both state-owned and federal land.[^9] Since production at Prudhoe Bay commenced, all of the North Slope's extraction has taken place in the northern portion of the Colville-Canning province, administered by either the Alaska Department of Natural Resources or the Bureau of Land Management. While three major companies account for most production, North Slope exploration and extraction has diversified, with 63 current lease holders from seven countries.[^10] Annual oil production in the borough peaked in 1988 (at 722 million bbl) and has steadily declined since.[^11]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:48:The oil industry is a key driver of jobs throughout the borough. In 2014, mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction provided 9,003 jobs on the North Slope, accounting for 65 percent of total employment (13,686).[^13] [^14] The North Slope Borough's population is less than 10,000, so many private jobs are filled by nonresidents. The North Slope Borough government itself remains the largest employer of local residents, along with the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, school district, and local Native corporations.[^15]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:57:Given the North Slope's relative geographic isolation, oil revenue is critical for supporting local schools, health centers, fire stations, water and sanitation facilities, and infrastructure. In FY 2014, the North Slope government received $528.6 million in revenue. [^17] Of that revenue, the borough received $347 million from local property taxes.[^18] The vast majority of property tax revenue (98%) comes from oil and gas properties.[^19]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:61:- A 35% oil- and gas-production tax is placed on the net value of extracted oil and gas, offset with credits tied to production and the price of oil. Revenue is deposited in the state's General Fund, with payments received after a tax settlement is deposited in the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund. Oil and gas production tax revenue has been falling steadily since 2012. In FY 2014, the state received $2.7 billion, down from $4.1 billion in FY 2013.[^21] Because the state charges tax based on net value of the oil and gas rather than volume, it has been particularly hard hit. According to the Energy Information Administration, after operating and capital expenses, net income in Alaska's oil and gas industry was near zero, resulting in the sharp decline in tax revenues.[^22]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:62:- Oil and gas property taxes are placed on the value of taxable exploration, production, and pipeline transportation property set at 20 {{ "mills" | term:"mill rate" }} or 2% of the assessed value. This revenue is also deposited in the state's General Fund, with payments received after a tax settlement is deposited in the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund. In FY 2014, oil and gas property tax accounted for $128 million (3.5%) of Alaska's tax revenue.[^23]
_case-studies/north-slope.md:71:Alaska residents also receive annual dividend payments from the state's Permanent Fund, based on a five-year average of the fund's performance. The state established the Permanent Fund in 1976, as construction of the Alaska Pipeline concluded. Twenty-five percent of revenue from mineral leases on state-owned lands and from federal mineral revenue-sharing payments go into the Permanent Fund for investment. In 2015 each Alaska resident received $2,072 as a result of this payout, up from $900 in 2013.[^26]
_case-studies/pima.md:25:> Copper is a major industrial metal used in construction, electronics, transportation, industrial machinery, and consumer products. In 2014, the U.S. was the world's fourth-largest copper producer, mining 1.13 million tons of copper worth approximately $9.7 billion.[^1] Of the five major copper-producing states (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Montana), Arizona increased production the most in 2014; its copper output totaled 893,000 {{ "metric tons" | term_end:"metric ton" }}, representing 66% of the national total.[^2] Copper represented 89% of the value of mining in Arizona.[^3] If Arizona were a country, it would be the seventh-largest copper producer in the world.[^4] Greenlee and Pima counties generated the majority of that production.
_case-studies/pima.md:37:In 2014, the combined copper production from Pima County's three major mines totaled 175,000 metric tons.[^5] This output constituted 22% of national production for that year.[^6] Freeport-McMoRan Inc. manages the Sierrita mine, the top-producing operation in the county, while ASARCO LLC owns both the Mission Complex and Silver Bell mines.[^7]
_case-studies/pima.md:39:### Copper production at Pima County's three major mines[^8]
_case-studies/pima.md:45:Copper mining makes up a relatively small portion of Pima County's overall employment, largely as a result of the Tucson metropolitan area's more diversified economy and workforce. In 2014, copper mining and related activities accounted for less than 1% (2,299 workers) of Pima County's total private-sector employment of 282,653.[^9] Data for mining and support activities for the entire mining industry shows an overall increase in employment in Pima County from 2005 through 2014.[^10]
_case-studies/pima.md:53:State revenue from copper extraction is directed back to Pima County primarily through the state's severance tax. Arizona levies this tax on metal minerals (including copper) set at 2.5% on 50% of the difference between the gross value of production and the production costs. While 47.6% of this revenue goes to the state's General Fund, the other 52.4% is distributed to cities and counties.[^12] In 2014, $19.9 million was distributed to all cities and counties in Arizona from the severance tax on metals.[^13]
_case-studies/st-louis.md:25:> Iron ore is the primary mineral substance for the world's iron and steel industries. The U.S. is estimated to possess iron ore reserves of 110 billion tons, which can produce approximately 27 billion tons of metallic iron. In 2014, the U.S. was the world's eighth-largest producer of iron ore, generating an output of 57 million {{ "metric tons" | term_end:"metric ton" }}. 93% of usable iron ore was produced in Michigan and Minnesota, with an estimated value of $5 billion.[^1] In 2013, more than three-fourths of that output came from iron mines located in a single area of Minnesota: St. Louis County.[^2]
_case-studies/st-louis.md:37:In 2013, St. Louis County's eight iron mines produced 41.1 million metric tons of ore. Minnesota currently produces approximately 75% of the iron ore in the U.S.[^4] [^5] [^6] Production rates were relatively constant throughout the preceding ten years, averaging 37.8 million metric tons with a compound annual growth rate of -0.05%.[^7] As shown in the graph below, iron production in St. Louis County drives the majority of national iron production. The abnormally low production rate in 2009 was broadly the result of the global economic recession and weak demand from Chinese steel mills.
_case-studies/st-louis.md:48:The iron industry employs thousands of people in St. Louis County. The three major companies that operate the county's iron mines and processing facilities are Cliffs Natural Resources, ArcelorMittal USA Inc., and the United States Steel Corporation. The seven mines in St. Louis County operated by these and other companies provided 4,202 jobs in 2014, comprising 5% of the county’s total 81,236 jobs.[^11] [^12] Mining employment has remained steady at around 4% of employment since 2008.
_case-studies/st-louis.md:56:St. Louis County also collects revenue from various ad valorem and property taxes, including the tax on unmined taconite ($227,126 in 2014) and the ad valorem tax on taconite railroads ($7,286 in 2014).[^17] Taken together with the Taconite Production Tax, this revenue is important for the county's schools, infrastructure, and public services.
_case-studies/st-louis.md:60:Mining operations in Minnesota rely heavily on the state's multimodal transportation system, which includes trucks, trains, ports, and barges: for instance, taconite makes up more than half the tonnage moved by rail across the state. However, keeping the railroads running requires significant financial investment. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (DOT) projects that it will need between $125 million and $433 million from Minnesota state and local governments throughout the next 20 years to fulfill the freight-rail-improvement component of its State Rail Plan.[^18] The state does not itemize how much of that money, if any, is specified for rail improvements that support the mining industry.
_case-studies/st-louis.md:62:The Port of Duluth/Superior is the busiest port on the Great Lakes, and handles more than 40 million tons of taconite shipments per year. Historically, the Port's highest volume commodity was iron ore mined in the nearby Mesabi Range. Since 1996, the Minnesota state government has committed $25 million for 37 projects to increase port efficiency and preserve infrastructure, both for the mining industry and other commercial sectors.[^19] In 2013, Minnesota awarded $10 million in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants to rebuild and expand the Port of Duluth.[^20]

If a company overpays their royalty, rent, or bonus, they are entitled to recoup their overpayment. If the overpayment and recoupment happen in different years, the recoupment will appear as a negative amount in the Office of Natural Resource Revenue's revenue summaries.

_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:21:> The Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation Program uses fees paid by present-day coal mining companies to {{ "reclaim" | term:"reclamation" }} coal mines abandoned before 1977. This makes these areas safer for people and the environment. The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977 created this program to use company fees to reclaim coal mines abandoned before 1977, to set standards for today's coal companies as they reclaim areas contemporaneously with their mining, and to post bonds to cover the cost if companies are unable to reclaim current coal mines.
_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:42:When a state or tribe has reclaimed identified high priority coal sites, they may be eligible for "certification."[^4] The source of their funds from the Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) changes; instead of receiving funds sourced from AML fees, they receive funds sourced from the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury. These funds can be used for a wider range of purposes, including reclaiming abandoned hardrock mine sites. A certified state or tribe may still have abandoned coal mine areas to reclaim.
_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:56:- [GAO report: Agencies should take steps to improve information on usda's and interior's potentially contaminated sites](http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-15-35)
_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:91:- **State and tribal share grants:** Non-certified states receive 50% of the AML revenue originating from coal production in their states. This accounts for 50% of overall distribution of AML fees in a given year. Certified states receive amounts equal to their respective share grant totals sourced from the Treasury's General Fund.[^12]
_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:92:- **Historic coal grants:** 30% of overall AML fees go toward Historic Coal Grants for non-certified states. OSMRE allocates Historic Coal grants based on each state's percentage of coal tonnage produced prior to 1977. Congress created Historic Coal grants so that states with large numbers of abandoned mines, but little current coal production, would not be left without funds to reclaim them.[^13]
_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:117:**Growth of the AML fund's unappropriated balance**[^17]

_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:131:OSMRE paid states and tribes a collective total of $1.3 billion in roughly equal installments over the course of seven years. This money did not come directly from the AML Fund, but was sourced directly from the Treasury's General Fund.
_how-it-works/aml-fees.md:135:As of November 2015, the fund's balance stood at $2.5 billion.[^21] The reauthorization for AML fees expires in FY 2021. The unappropriated balance has been divided into different allocations to be used starting in FY 2023, as follows:

_states/AK.md:17:    Most of Alaska's crude oil production takes place in the [North Slope Borough](../../case-studies/north-slope/), where exploration, drilling, and transportation costs are high, but high volume and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline make commercial drilling feasible.
_states/AK.md:19:    About three-fourths of Alaska's natural gas withdrawals are consumed on site after extraction, because it is not commercially feasible to transport to distant markets. For more information about the Alaska Natural Gas pipeline, see the [congressional report (PDF)](http://www.ferc.gov/legal/staff-reports/2016/angta-twenty-first.pdf). 
_states/AK.md:23:    In 2012, Alaska's nonenergy mineral production was valued at about $3.69 billion. Metals, including gold, made up 98% of Alaska’s nonenergy mineral production value in 2012. Alaska produces 14% of U.S. gold, with major gold mines in central Alaska, southern Alaska, and the Seward Peninsula. More information about gold exploration can be found [here](http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/gold/).

_states/MT.md:11:    Much of Montana's crude oil and natural gas production is in northeastern Montana, in the Williston Basin, which includes the [Bakken formation](https://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications/special-studies/bakken/oil-production) as well as the Baker/Cedar Creek field, which contains the nation’s largest single underground natural gas storage facility. (There are also natural gas wells in south central Montana.)
_states/MT.md:13:    Montana's coal reserves, which are the largest estimated recoverable coal reserves in the U.S., are mostly located in the Powder River Basin in southeastern Montana. Five large surface mines provide the bulk of Montana’s coal production, though it also has one sizable underground mine.  
_states/MT.md:17:    **Nonenergy minerals:** In 2011, Montana's nonenergy mineral production was valued at over $1.4 billion. For details about what minerals are extracted, see the [USGS Minerals Yearbook for Montana](http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/state/mt.html).
_states/MT.md:37:    In Montana, the coal trust fund is the primary way that revenue from extractive industries is saved for future use. The fund was established by the Montana State Constitution, which also requires that 50% of coal severance tax revenues go to the trust fund. The coal trust fund had an estimated balance of $963 million at the end of FY 2014. Interest from the fund goes to economic development, water, and infrastructure projects.

_states/TX.md:20:    Texas also borders an offshore area with significant natural resource extraction, which may contribute to the state's economy. For production and revenue data about offshore extraction near Texas, see the [Western Gulf of Mexico]().
_states/WY.md:13:    Most of Wyoming's natural resource extraction takes place on federal land, including a majority of coal production and two thirds of natural gas production. Much of this federal land is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
_states/WY.md:15:    Northeastern Wyoming holds the Powder River Basin, which contains eight of the ten largest coal mines in the country. Wyoming's natural gas production is centered in the Green River Basin in southwestern Wyoming. Crude oil production takes place in the Niobrara Shale (in southeastern Wyoming), the Powder River Basin, and the Green River oil shale.
_states/WY.md:19:    In 2014, Wyoming produced 2.4% of U.S. wind energy. Particularly in the southeast part of the state, there's significant potential for increased wind energy production and several large-scale wind energy projects are in development.
_states/WY.md:21:    **Nonenergy minerals:** In 2011, Wyoming's nonenergy mineral production was valued at over $2.14 billion. Notably, Wyoming produces more trona (the chief source of [soda ash](http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/soda_ash/)) than any other state, and the largest deposit of trona in the world sits under Sweetwater County in Wyoming. For details about what other minerals are extracted, see the [USGS Minerals Yearbook for Wyoming](http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/state/wy.html).
_states/WY.md:35:    To read more about the impact of revenue from extractive industries on Wyoming’s general fund, including future projections, see reports produced by Wyoming's [Consensus Revenue Estimating Group](http://eadiv.state.wy.us/creg/creg.html).
_states/WY.md:45:    The state of Wyoming saves about 68% of severance tax revenue and 39% of federal mineral royalty revenues. These two revenue streams are Wyoming's two largest sources of revenue from natural resource extraction. Wyoming saves revenue by contributing to the Budget Reserve Account and the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund. Interest from the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund goes to the General Fund.
_states/WY.md:47:    The extractive industries play an important role in Wyoming’s economy — particularly in Campbell County's Powder River Basin and in Sublette County.

It should be pretty easy to automate their replacement, but I wanted to give @coreycaitlin a heads up before doing so. What say you, content lead?

shawnbot commented 7 years ago

Okay, so in cbb4c8a I figured out how to enable the "smart" extension for our markdown parser, which should take care of all of the "uneducated" quotes in our markdown content. I think, though, that we'll have to educate the quotes in our HTML files via search-and-replace.

shawnbot commented 7 years ago

@coreycaitlin if you're going to work on this, check out the smart-quotes branch.

shawnbot commented 7 years ago

Actually, if you look at the Montana page before and after, there is no difference in the number of smart quotes. So maybe that extension is enabled by default?

coreycaitlin commented 7 years ago

I checked, and it looks like all markdown-ed apostrophes are turning out right (including the ones Phoebe spotted, I think), but there were a few HTML-ed apostrophes floating around. I think I've caught them all and will check that in shortly.
