Kentucky River Coal Corporation began its existence nearly a century ago, when John C. C. Mayo and W. S. Dudley began to purchase lands and mineral rights in Eastern Kentucky. Mayo, a teacher in Pike and Johnson Counties, recognized the value of the region’s vast coal reserves. Starting in the late 1890’s, with the backing of Dudley and Charles Tennis of Pittsburgh, Mayo began purchasing property in Perry, Letcher and Leslie Counties in the name of Tennis Coal Company.

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies in the current solar panel arrays. It is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power.
See Solar OpportunitiesBiomass can be used as a source of energy and it is most often derived from plants or plant-based materials that are not used for food or feed. When used as a renewal energy source, biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel.
