High court refuses to review TVA case

In this mention

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a lower court ruling that allowed TVA to ignore EPA orders to reduce air pollution from its coal-fired power plants. Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy criticized the decision, arguing that TVA should not receive preferential treatment compared to investor-owned utilities facing similar Clean Air Act enforcement actions. The ruling leaves uncertain what future enforcement actions the Justice Department and EPA will pursue against the federally owned utility.
