Republicans don’t want things to change. Unfortunately, time continues to march forward with or without them. The Kentucky Coal Mining Museum is hoping they can cut some costs by cutting down on their energy bills. How? By switching to solar energy.
"We believe that this project will help save at least eight to ten thousand dollars, off the energy costs on this building alone, so it's a very worthy effort and it's going to save the college money in the long run," said Robinson.
The work began Tuesday to power the energy, not by coal, but by the sun.
"It is a little ironic," said Robinson, "But you know, coal and solar and all the different energy sources work hand-in-hand. And, of course, coal is still king around here."
Yes. It’s “king” the same way King Lear was “king”—angry, paranoid and ultimately self-destructive.
