Energy Transitions

I read in the Mountain Eagle where Letcher County's coal severance tax returns was surpassed by their natural gas severance returns this year and resulted in a $900,000 surplus. I think this is one of those energy milestone signs that reveal a transitioning of energy opportunities. I'm curious how the breakdown of coal severence vs natural gas in other counties in the East KY Region is playing out. I think we are truly seeing potential for diversification in energy related markets in Eastern KY.
