As much of the U.S. braces for an arctic blast, coal keeps the lights on & our homes warm. In my latest blog post, I highlight coal's vital role in grid reliability & why a policy shift is needed to support this essential energy source. Read the post here: nma.org/2025/01/16/coals-vit…

Our researchers know how important coal has been to Kentucky communities. We work each day to honor the legacy of those innovators and community leaders who helped make the Commonwealth the place it is today.
Towns like Hazard thrived & railroads were built for Kentucky's high-quality coal. WWII? Our miners were "Soldiers of the Shovel," fueling the war effort. Today, @UKCAER pioneers in clean coal tech. Got a coal story? Share! #FriendsofCoalKY #KentuckyCoalHistory #InnovationInCoal

Kentucky is Coal Country! Coal first. EV vehicles aren’t a realistic future. @KYGOP @KYCooperrider @DanielCameronAG @tichenor4ky @felicia_rabourn @FriendsofCoalKY
Kentucky is leading the way in the auto industry as the electric vehicle battery capital of the country. AESC helped us secure that title with the second largest investment in our history. Thursday we raised the final beam on this facility that is creating 2,000 jobs.

Coal keeps the lights on, even when it's cloudy and there's no wind. #ClimateHoax
Think coal's obsolete? Think again. As the U.S. shifts to renewables, coal remains a reliable, critical energy source. Cutting it out risks economic damage. Bottom line: Coal is essential to the American economy. Learn more: friendsofcoalkentucky.org #FriendsofCoalKY

Coal is more dependable than natural gas because it can be stored in large quantities and is less susceptible to supply disruptions than natural gas, which requires transport pipelines. This is just another reason coal is irreplaceable.
