The PSC held its second public meeting about the future of nuclear energy in Kentucky last night at the U of L J.B Speed School of Engineering Student Success & Research Building. Staff presented information to the audience and then engaged in a conversation about nuclear issues.

Thank you for your service, Trustee Melanson. @TheRealMelanson @UKCAER

@TheRealMelanson @Delta Clearly your fault that their plane was broken and you deserved to be hugely inconvenienced.

OK, @Delta. Let's revisit my experience on Monday. My flight was diverted from Atlanta to Columbia, SC. My final destination was Charleston, SC (90 minutes away). Your solution was: Fly me back to Atlanta. Spend night in Atlanta. Fly me to Charleston the next day.
