We are Kentuckians.

I. Demographics

Chart produced by Lexington Herald Leader

Chart produced by MACED

Chart produced by KY Workforce Investment Board

V. Energy and Electricity

Nearly all of Kentucky’s Electricity comes from burning coal Chart produced by MACED

The price of electricity in KY is historically low – 4 th lowest in nation Chart produced by MACED

Rates have been low, but bills are high! Average kilowatt hours used by a customer in one year Residential Energy Intensity (Source: Energy Information Administration, 2007) High use = High bills

And now, the cost of coal-fired power is sky-rocketing. Chart produced by MACED

VI. Democracy & Governance in KY

Who votes in Kentucky? Kentucky voters age had highest voting turnout in In general, young adults, men, people with less formal education, and lower-income folks vote less than older folks, women, people with more education, and wealthier voters.

Voter Turnout Generally Low in KY 2006 General Election turnout: 41% 2008 General Election: 58.8% May 2011 primary election: 10.3%

There’s a reason we call it the “good ol boy” system. KY ranks 47 th in the number of women elected officials. (Institute for Women’s Policy Research) Only 0.8% of all elected officials in our state are black, while African Americans make up more than 7% of our total population. (Southern States Legislative Review)

Loss of Voting Rights KY is one of two states that takes away a person’s right to vote, permanently, when convicted of a felony. As a result, 186,000 citizens are disenfranchised – 6% of the adult population!

VII. Hopeful trends!?!

Center for Politics In 2010, 2 Kentucky congressmen who were champions of clean water protection Act were re-elected, despite the national political trends and coal industry $.
