T.V.A.
Mr. Cooper asked a federal court to declare air pollution from 11 power plants which is owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority in Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky a stated as ''public nuisance'' under common law. It simply asks the court to order the authority  to install up-to-date emissions controls on the sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury from its coal-fired power plants. T.V.A. is a government-owned authority, which is among the country's largest power producers and, therefore, one of its biggest polluters. This suggests that the T.V.A. would do well to reach an civil agreement.
