Kentucky Utilities Co. is fighting a battle to hold onto its facilities in Paducah, Glasgow and Princeton, Ky., where residents are trying to buy the plants, then buy power from TVA at a 30%-to-50% saving in electricity bills. But the once-widespread bitterness against the TVA has been largely muted, especially since private powermen no longer fear it will spread over the nation.
