TVA, EPA await Clean Air court ruling

In this mention

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has delayed its ruling for 13 months on TVA's challenge to EPA's enforcement of Clean Air Act new source review rules, which govern pollution control requirements for coal-fired power plant upgrades. Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy expressed concern about the delay and worry that the court may be influenced by the Bush administration's proposed changes to the rules. The case centers on whether TVA and other utilities made routine repairs or major modifications requiring new pollution control equipment.
