Hazing at TVA nuke plant leads to punitive measures
“It's very inappropriate for people to be horsing around inside a nuclear reactor. That reeks of being dangerous. The ice cooling baskets are designed to be available in the event of danger, and they're up there goofing around. It doesn't build confidence that TVA is managing these very unforgiving machines.”
Southeast's largest green power program running deficit
“TVA is constantly chasing the demand, and I think that is a good thing. That shows people want it.”
TVA employees got freebies
“I think that ratepayers should be very concerned about this. I think there should be a congressional inquiry to make sure that both the ratepayers' interests and the companies themselves have been looked into more thoroughly. I have yet to be impressed with any internal action that TVA itself, in sort of self-disciplinary mode, accomplishes.”

“I think it is unfortunate that TVA, which gets 55 to 60 percent of their power from coal, is not interested”

“Unfortunately, I don't think the Bush administration is really serious about enforcing these clean air rules. The air may be getting cleaner, but it's still not clean enough. We still have far too many cases of asthma, lung disease and other health problems among humans and too much deterioration of our environment, especially here in the Smoky Mountains.”
TVA audits reveal excessive spending, costs
“The scary thing about TVA is that they're moving so much money around, sometimes they lose track of the amounts. But these findings should be of concern to them, particularly when they're laying people off.”
TVA adds $107M to proposed trim list
“The TVA board blames the layoffs in part on pending deregulation, but there is, in fact, no deregulation legislation on the horizon. It is more accurate to state that the layoffs and rate increases are a result of the voluntary restart of Browns Ferry Unit 1. That's what's causing the cash-flow problem.”
TVA to face N.C. pollution lawsuit
“The reality is, over half of TVA's coal-fired power plants won't have the best available controls, even after 2010”
Sales of 'green power' exceed TVA supply
“TVA is constantly chasing the demand, and I think that is a good thing. That shows people want it.”
TVA wins latest tiff with EPA
“The case is strong. TVA violated the law in our opinion and we need to have justice served so we can get on with cleaning up the plants.”
TVA has little room left to store nuclear waste
“This is a reflection of poor planning by the nuclear industry. They have continued to generate this waste even though they don't have a long-term storage operation for it.”
Area fails to meet pollution standards
“particle pollution from power plants alone shortens the lives of nearly 24,000 Americans annually including nearly 1,000 Tennesseans. This pollution also ruins mountain scenery in the Smokies and contributes to acid rain making the Great Smoky Mountains America's most-polluted national park”
