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.

On Thursday, more than 100 organizations submitted a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency urging the agency to move the Tennessee Valley Authority's decision on whether to build a new natural gas plant to the executive branch.
