TVA's possible coal extensions unravel rationale given for new gas

In this mention

TVA is considering extending the life of its coal plants, a reversal of its 2021 commitment to retire all coal by 2035. Stephen Smith, director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, argues this shift is politically motivated to appease the Trump administration, which has granted TVA exemptions from coal pollution regulations. Smith contends TVA could accelerate solar deployment to meet generation needs but chooses not to, instead misleading the public about feasibility.
