TVA being urged to clean up its act

In this mention

Environmental groups, including the Tennessee Valley Energy Reform Coalition, are urging TVA to reduce emissions from its coal-fired power plants and close a legal loophole that exempts older plants from stricter Clean Air Act regulations. The groups released reports showing that TVA's pollution contributes significantly to regional smog and air quality problems. TVA spokeswoman Barbara Martocci defended the agency's environmental stewardship and compliance with current standards.
