Lamar Alexander could help move these appointees through the process. How can we require the TVA Board to wait until everyone is on board before throwing more of our money down the nuclear sink hole (8 billion spent on Bellafonte without one watt of electricity, and they want to throw more money where that disappeared). ENDing MTR is necessary even without an alternative, but TVA, Chatt State and UTC just got a grant to train Smart Grid Technicians, how can we move forward without any funding for alternative energy futures???
