Could do it. There is a coal-burning plant right across the Cumberland River that is currently scheduled to shut down, as it is being replaced by a natural gas plant being built. I would think they could run dedicated power lines to the base.
The big problem, is that the coal-burning plant is very old, as are, I assume, all the currently existing coal plants. Do we really want our 'War' Department to be dependent on 50 year old power infrastructure?
