1624480153760825350 | Yo @KellyCraftKY, curious did you know that "...the waste produced by coal plants is actually more radioactive than that generated by their nuclear counterparts." @_AustinHorn @joesonka https://t.co/5DdPRsdwki | 5 |

1625533976487116803 | The work of people like @oliviakrauth, @Billy_Kobin, @KristaJ1993, @joesonka, and many others are critical for keeping informed in Kentucky. TV stations rarely devote the coverage required to Frankfort, education, and Kentucky as a whole. https://t.co/CXnaZ2aLgi | 3 |
