U.S. Supreme Court’s recent environmental ruling renews spotlight on TVA
In this mention
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling limiting EPA authority to regulate carbon emissions, environmental groups in Tennessee are focusing on a Biden Administration executive order requiring federal entities to achieve 100% carbon-free electricity by 2030. Bryan Jacob, solar program director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, argues that TVA will need incentives to meet its decarbonization goals, particularly as the utility plans to replace retiring coal plants with natural gas rather than renewable energy sources.
They will need some kind of incentive. Some kind of carrot or stick to get them there.
