For a long time in Kentucky there has been major thought given to economic development, but many residents remain unsure if foreign investments are the answers to the state's prosperity or economic future. There are at least some who believe in large-scale out of state, or sometimes out of country, industries and then there are those who believe small businesses are the answers to Kentucky's future growth. Some officials say coal should not only be a boost in Kentucky but should also provide clean energy for the world. Some who attended the coal forum at the University of Kentucky this weekend say clean coal technology will help the state go green, while helping the nation. State Representative Rocky Adkins says Kentucky has an unbelievable opportunity to be the national and international leader in the energy field.
