Kentucky can do like the rest of the world, and and balance their own power grid out by getting electricity from other sources including renewable energy. They have over 15 years to make it happen.

Not by law, son, and not so my children can breath. My children breath just fine now and despite the hysteria you've bought into, our air has gotten cleaner and cleaner.
Oh, and the 39% of our energy derived from coal is the largest amount derived from any source.
Here amongst the intelligent we understand that you can't magically replace 39% of your energy output with another source. Especially since nuclear isn't on the table.
I'm sure that you, American hater that you are, applaud this because it weakens us but let me clue you in, we've had enough of the idiot left. These standards will be blocked by people with common sense.
