Louisville Gas & Electric Co.-Kentucky Utilities, Inc., owned by Pittsburgh-based, investor-owned PPL, seek Ky. Public Service Commission approval to build two new gas-fired power plants.  Customers would pay $1.3 billion to build them, more to operate them -- and still more for profit. 

 

To be fair, they also propose to install more solar panels, reinstate some efficiency programs and shut down four coal-fired plants, but they're old and in need of investment if even still usable.  One is 80 years old and hasn't been used in years; imagine if LG&E-KU could operate the proposed new fossil-fueled plants for even 50 years.  Enough already!
