Representatives from the National Parks Conservation Association and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy met in Knoxville before traveling to Washington to advocate for federal four-pollutant regulations for power plants. SACE executive director Stephen Smith and NPCA regional director Don Barger highlighted air quality problems in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, citing TVA and other regional utilities' use of emission credits and grandfathered loopholes under the Clean Air Act. The pair sought support from Senators Thompson and Frist for stricter regulations on sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, and carbon dioxide emissions.
