Kentucky Coal Mining Museum Makes the Switch to Solar
File this under “Man
Bites Dog”: the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum announced this week that it is
switching to solar energy.
WYMT has the story. The museum, which is located in Benham,
Ky. in the heart of Coal Country and owned by Southeast Kentucky Community and
Technical College, is making the switch to save money.
Museum officials
estimate the 20 solar panels will save the museum $8-10,000 annually on energy
costs. That money will go back to the college to help in its mission of
educating students.
