“If you've been considering an energy upgrade — whether it's installing an induction cooktop or an entire solar system — don't wait. H.R.1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) has shown that the opportunity to save money while contributing to a cleaner future won't last forever.”
“a moratorium should focus on community, state, and regional costs, economic sector risks, and how AI companies deal with their projects”
The Tennessee Valley Authority has signed an agreement with energy developer Entra1 to build up to 6,000 megawatts of small modular nuclear reactors in TVA's service region and sell the electricity to the federal utility. The…
“to ensure these facilities don't use emergency-generation provisions to operate private power plants, create new pollution burdens or proceed without adequate utility infrastructure”
The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy released its annual solar report predicting strong but uneven solar power expansion across Southeast states through the 2020s, with Florida Power & Light leading the regional buildout. The report examines…
“If TVA has to build a giant power plant to serve this load and the company that they're designing it for goes away, what are they going to do with that power? Who's going to pay for that power?”
Nextpower (formerly Nextracker) has expanded its Southeast operations by opening a new remote monitoring center in Nashville and doubling manufacturing capacity at its Memphis facility in partnership with MSS Steel Tubes USA. The expansion supports utility-scale…
“We know that solar and storage are the least costly to build, and they are quick to build. So we are encouraging that.”
“There's a whole question that we just had a big election where energy affordability is a big part of it. Throwing money after a reactor design that isn't cost effective isn't a good investment both by the taxpayers of the United States because that $400 million didn't just appear, it's coming from the taxpayers of the United States and ultimately the rate payers, the customers who pay their bill to TVA may have to pay higher electric bills.”
“reprocessing spent fuel generates its own secondary waste, which itself needs a disposal pathway that doesn't yet exist”
“The Southeast added 5 GW of solar in 2024 alone, bringing the cumulative total to nearly 28 GW.”
“retiring coal plants is 'one of our primary ways' to combat pollution, climate change and associated health harms. Extending their operations, she said, 'will make climate change happen faster and will make it worse over the long-term.'”
“Large data centers can create electric demands comparable to those of entire cities. Nashville has a responsibility to ensure these facilities don't use emergency-generation provisions to operate private power plants, create new pollution burdens or proceed without adequate utility infrastructure.”
“The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is calling for more transparency around the new rate structure to make sure it's enough for data centers to pay their share.”
“The cheaper option for everybody would be solar with storage, energy efficiency and demand response”
