“Only in an Orwellian world of misinformation do we see our nation's largest "public" power utility pass a massive rate increase while providing the public the least amount of information compared to "private" utilities. It's highly unusual for a utility the size of TVA to issue a rate increase with zero independent review. This is a broken process, and every ratepayer in the Tennessee Valley is literally paying the price.”
“The EV investments announced so far are projected to generate at least 65,000 jobs across the region”
“Believe the hype: The electric vehicle tipping point is now”
“TVA is this crazy unicorn—it's not like anything else”
Opinion piece by Margaret Renkl criticizing Tennessee's SB2077/HB2246 energy infrastructure bill that would allow the state to override local laws blocking fossil-fuel projects. The bill was introduced in response to Memphis's successful grassroots effort to defeat…
Op-ed by Frances Lamberts argues that the Tennessee Valley Authority should prioritize energy conservation and efficiency to combat climate change, citing a congressional oversight inquiry and comparative data from ACEEE and SACE showing TVA's efficiency spending…
“the microgrid and solar array proposed by the cooperative represents a significant part of the future of America's power generation as electricity moves away from central source generation from major coal or nuclear power plants and toward a distributed model with smaller renewable energy generation and storage”

“If someone could make a compelling case that you need to put this country on a war footing to solve the climate crisis, then T.V.A. could be a tremendous asset for doing that. But you'd have to clean house.”
“This historic decision sets up MLGW to provide more value to customers in Memphis and be a national leader on clean energy. By seeking bids on alternative power supplies, the people of Memphis and Shelby County will lock in lower cost and cleaner more efficient energy-giving Memphis more control of its own future. This also serves as a significant "shot across the bow" to TVA that MLGW is setting the stage to break loose from TVA's dictatorial long term contract arrangements.”
“For the first time that I'm aware of, you've got a Democratic administration proposing the sale of TVA and simultaneously you've got significant, conservative federal representatives in the House and Senate defending their local socialist project. There's a lot irony in it and little bit of humor actually.”
