The article reports on letters from Tennessee's governor and 11 state attorneys general urging the Bush administration to loosen Clean Air Act enforcement for power plants and factories, particularly regarding New Source Review regulations. Environmental groups…
“While their withdrawal ... doesn't necessarily reflect a change in TVA's policy, it is a move in the right direction. We never believed TVA should use ratepayer money to undermine clean air protections”
“For TVA and the Department of Energy to continue to go forward at this point and spend millions of dollars on this plan is a waste of taxpayers' dollars and is simply a matter of bureaucratic momentum”
“The Southeast is awash in energy if we use it wisely. TVA has never finished any nuclear program on budget or on time, and there's no reason to believe they can at Browns Ferry.”
“The Southeast is awash in energy if we use it wisely. TVA has never finished any nuclear program on budget or on time, and there's no reason to believe they can at Browns Ferry.”
“undermines the utilities' argument that these things are routine maintenance when they're doing overhauls at the plants”
“To TVA's credit, they have made some significant commitments to cleaning up their power plants. They deserve credit for that. But he said TVA is sending tens of thousands of dollars of ratepayer dollars to actually undermine a law that protects us.”
“We welcome the review of these plants because we don't want Tennessee's environment and water to be sacrificed to make electricity for other parts of the country. But unfortunately, there are not a lot of details or specifics in this report.”
“Crowell dug in further and further, became more and more arrogant”
“unfortunately, that's the way the game's played”
“The fact that there is a nuclear power plant owned by the federal government that is producing material for a nuclear weapon, I think that would probably make it a better target for a terrorist”
“We applaud this important step and voluntary commitment to cleaning TVA's plants, but we recognize the continued need for federal legislation, such as the Jeffords bill”
“It's a shell game that still requires TVA to pay for cost overruns and delays”
“These dirty old plants should have been shut down long ago, or at least brought up to meet the clean air standards for new plants”
“TVA is providing absolute-ly no leadership on helping its customers to better use power. There is no reason to rush headlong into building more nuclear and coal power plants without doing the types of programs TVA once did to ensure we utilize electricity more wisely.”
