Hey , how much will continuing to run the Kingston and Cumberland coal plants cost us? Because scrapping your plans to retire these aging, dirty coal plants AND bringing methane gas powered electricity generation online at the same sites seems expensive to me. đ€
Youâve long said that these coal plants have become costly and less reliable to keep operating. Thatâs partly why you justified putting pipelines in peopleâs backyards and building new multi-million dollar gas plants. Now, youâve cut the public out and broken your commitments. And we still donât know the price tag because there is no cost transparency.
đ«Hardworking people and families shouldnât have to pay more to keep these expensive plants online when there are more affordable and reliable options.
đ«Survivors and families of Kingston coal ash disaster workers deserve better.
đ«Nearby communities shouldnât have to keep suffering from air and water pollution caused by burning dirty coal.
đ«Communities across the Tennessee Valley donât want to risk grid outages during the next winter storm because of reliability problems at these old plants.
TVA, show us the bill.
