Roy Cooper and NC Prevail against the TVA

The Associated Press is reporting that Judge Lacy Thornburg has ordered the TVA to install pollution controls at the four coal-fired power plants closest to the North Carolina border.

In a move to protect the environment of our beautiful North Carolina mountains, Attorney General Cooper filed suit against the Tennessee Valley Authority to require they clean up their act. The TVA refused. Judge Thornburg sided with the North Carolina mountains.

Judge Thornburg also sided with the TVA. There are seven other coal-fired power plants that will not have to control their pollution. Hopefully, they will be far enough away from North Carolina that "what happens in Tennessee stays in Tennessee."
