We deserve better.
Replacing fossil fuel coal plants with fossil fuel gas plants plus miles of pipeline and battery storage is NOT a remedy for catastrophic climate change. It is the continuation of the chaos that brought us to this devastating position in the first place. More fossil fuel facilities and infrastructure to support them is not the solution. You and we must invest in clean, renewable energy sources which will provide long term job security while reducing the risks of global climate chaos and collapse. The future of our health, our lives and the future life of the planet depend on it. negative Maria Louise Morandi Long Zwicker 4664

Please.
Pollution does not stay in the area in which it is created. It moves along waterways, travels through the air and spreads its toxins to everyone.

Opinions may vary, but I’d find it difficult to accept a proof that now is a good time to step back into the past in a quest for a path forward in energy production.

After decades of operation, the Cumberland Fossil Plant is no longer cost effective or reliable, and it is one of the most polluting coal plants in the country. This is why I support TVA’s decision to close the Cumberland Plant. I strongly encourage TVA to replace the plant’s capacity with a renewable electricity alternative that is cost effective, safe and reliable while bringing jobs and economic development to the region. I firmly believe that TVA should not invest in more fossil fuel by constructing a methane gas plant and 12-mile gas pipeline in Cheatham County to partially replace the capacity of one of the coal-fired units at Cumberland City. Building a gas plant is expensive and gas prices are volatile. TVA would likely have to retire the gas plant before the end of its useful life because renewable energy options are cheaper and those prices continue to fall. TVA customers should not be forced to pay for a project that TVA CEO Jeff Lyash has called a “not-forever” solution. Furthermore, the public health impacts and environmental risks of building a gas plant are too big to ignore. Methane gas plants, compressor stations and pipelines release pollutants like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter into the air. They are also at risk of dangerous explosions like the one that happened in Dickson County in 1992. In addition, the combined 44 miles of pipeline that TVA would need to replace the two coal-fired units at Cumberland City would force landowners to sell easements on their property to the pipeline company, Kinder Morgan, while crossing more than 130 wetlands and streams, threatening our air and water quality. If the pipelines contaminate groundwater or surface water during construction, rural communities could lose access to clean water for drinking and farming.

TVA should invest in renewable energy sources like wind, energy efficiency, solar and storage to replace the capacity of both coal-fired units at the Cumberland City fossil plant.
Thank you for considering my comment.
