Report assails coal pollution

In this mention

A study titled "Dirty Air Dirty Power" commissioned by environmental groups including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy found that Tennessee has the nation's third-highest death rate from power-plant pollution, with coal-fired boilers causing 950 premature deaths annually in the state. The report analyzed microscopic soot and aerosol particles emitted by coal-fired power plants, including TVA's seven coal-burning plants in Tennessee. Industry representatives disputed the findings, arguing the report relies on broad assumptions and is part of a scare campaign.
