AI Summary

The Tennessee Valley Authority’s decision to reverse its coal‑retirement plan has prompted a lawsuit threat from several environmental groups. The Southern Environmental Law Center, representing Appalachian Voices, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Sierra Club, has notified TVA that it intends to sue. The groups allege that building and operating the new Cumberland Gas Plant next to the existing coal plant violates the federal Clean Air Act. The lawsuit would challenge the legality of the plant’s construction and operation under the Act.
