The Kentucky Coal Mining Museum converts to solar power. They expect to save about $8-$10,000 year. Not fake news.

"It is a little ironic, but you know, coal and solar and all the different energy sources work hand-in-hand. And, of course, coal is still king around here."

Nothing new. Many museums that feature the horse use horseless carriages.

Default Sign of the times Dept: Kentucky coal museum will run on solar power

A coal museum in Kentucky is switching to solar power. | Grist

Yes, coal still has a lot of uses. And coal technology will continue to improve. But improving solar technology is a better investment for the future.

Not ironic at all. It's called a balance. Each energy source has limitations including solar and coal. If anything, it's an example of how diverse energy use can be depending on your needs.

Why shouldn't they?

Coal and Solar are not mutually exclusive.
