Saturday

Maysville, KY is the Mason County seat and I live directly across the Ohio river in Brown Co, OH. There is a lot of opposition to this. People are pissed that the county commissioners signed the NDA and at the lack of public hearings on this. Eastern KY Power plant is the one referenced in the OP.

Back on this side of the river in neighboring Adams Co. OH, there are 2 planned data centers at the sites of former power plants. Not a lot of public input on those either. In total, there are 4 projects nearby. 2 within a 5 minute drive, 1 about 20 minutes away and 1 about 30 minutes away. Where is all this power coming from?
