Hello, I wrote this today and I think it's important context about data centers that people in Kentucky should know about, as utility companies and the legislature try to lure them here and justify spending billions on new power plants.
LG&E and KU are seeking PSC permission to build out $3.7 billion of power plants, largely due to its forecasted rise in data center energy demand. But critics say that demand is speculative and ratepayers could end up holding the bag, citing the failed Oldham County project.
Data center forecasts drive LG&E push for new power plants. Is that demand realistic?

Father's Day cuts differently on your first one without a dad. My father passed away in March at age 88, and I wrote then about how his life symbolized a golden U.S. age of faith in the power of knowledge, the very notion now under attack. Here's a gift link share.inquirer.com/qHigKX
