We’ve discovered that we can electrify many machines, like cars, lawn equipment, water heaters, and furnaces, more efficiently without the heat fossil fuels produce. The challenge now is finding clean electricity. In Kentucky, 69% of our energy comes from coal, 22% from natural gas, and just 9% from renewables. Our utility companies are balking at…
