coal fired power plants

President Donald Trump granted exemptions last week from some pollution safeguards to dozens of coal- and oil-burning power plants across the country, including four in Kentucky.

Dozens of Kentuckians spoke out against Louisville Gas and Electric’s plans to build two new natural gas plants during the last of five public meetings with utility regulators at Louisville’s downtown library on Wednesday.

Electric utilities say ratepayers will be stuck spending more for outdated coal-fired power under a bill that passed the Kentucky Legislature on Thursday.

The Ky. Senate approved a bill that would make it harder for utilities to retire coal-fired power plants. The utility industry says it will raise costs for ratepayers.

The Tennessee Valley Authority's four remaining coal plants could cause more than 2,000 premature deaths in the next decade, according to a new report from the Sierra Club. The report also found the federal utility has the largest mortality rate from coal burning of any parent company in the nation. TVA currently causes 241 premature deaths per year due to its contributions to soot pollution, also called fine particulate matter.

A new report found that utilities across the country, including in Kentucky, have made little progress in meeting their own climate goals.
