Clearing the Air: The case against TVA's dirty power plants gets stronger

In this mention

A federal Environmental Appeals Board ruling upheld EPA charges that TVA violated the Clean Air Act by failing to install pollution controls at nine of its 11 coal-fired plants. Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy praised the decision as potentially the most significant action for air quality in Tennessee since the Clean Air Act of the 1970s. TVA faces potential compliance costs of $2–3 billion and customer rate increases, but Smith argues the societal costs of inaction are far higher.
