Poll: Clean Air Worth Steeper Costs

In this mention

A poll commissioned by the Tennessee Clean Air Task Force reveals that 65% of Tennesseans consider air pollution a serious problem and 60% are willing to pay up to $10 monthly for cleaner energy production. Dr. Stephen Smith of the Tennessee Valley Energy Reform Coalition highlights that coal-fired power plants are major polluters, with a single plant emitting as much pollution as 7.3 million automobiles. The article notes that TVA's 11 coal-burning plants, many built before 1980 and exempt from modern pollution standards, are among the major emitters in the region.
