Appalachian Voices Public Scoping Comment Letter This pipeline is proposed to run through my parent's home and my brother's home. Homes that they have built from the ground up and invested time in with the plans to live out their lives here. I want my family to be able to continue to live in their homes safely! My niece and nephew deserve to grow up in a home where they can explore and grow without the fear that a pipeline will burst and cause an explosion. If they would like to place a methane plant, then they should place it away from our rural and forested areas. negative Paige Davidson 37015

I want an option that protects public health, residential property, workers and the environment! No new fossil fuels! It is past time to protect our planet!
The world is getting hotter. Water, especially clean water, is becoming more scarce. And you want to destroy what little is left just to make a few bucks? How selfish and shortsighted. Be a part of saving us, saving the ecosystem. Be a part of giving your children a future that is livable. Stop dirtying water. Stop destroying our world. Get off of fossil fuels and save us with renewables.

Appalachian Voices Public Scoping Comment Letter I’m a meteorologist with two degrees in atmospheric science. The great majority of the most qualified scientists in my field believe human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, much of which come from burning dirty fossil fuels like coal and oil, are responsible for a dangerous climate change and that urgent action to reduce these emissions is necessary to avoid the worst impacts. We need to generate more clean energy to help slow this dangerous climate change. negative Kevin Crupi 49855-3729

Keep all of our air clean! Use CLEAN renewable energy! We all end up breathing the same air, regardless of where we’re located!
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.

Enough with destroying the land - and seizing private property - for fossil fuel pipelines.

I am a local farmer and am extremely against the new pipeline on Lockertsville road. It will have a direct impact on my families living.

I used to live not very far form that area. If TVA truly wishes to solve clean, green electricity for the folks in Stewart, Houston, Dickson and Cheatham County, I strongly suggest a major but far less expensive program to put rooftop solar and batteries in as many lower income homes as possible. negative Norm Conrad 98274
