Boilermaker Brian Sharman poses for a portrait as he works on a pulverizer used to grind coal at the E.W. Brown Generating Station, which was powered down for maintenance.

The plant harnesses four forms of energy production: coal, gas, hydro and solar. Despite efforts to lessen environmental impacts, the station is entangled in a lawsuit over coal ash -- the toxic residue produced from burning coal -- which was buried in contact with groundwater that flows into Herrington Lake. The lake is connected to the Kentucky River through a tributary.
