Tennessee Valley Authority
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 which is 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. which is a government-owned authority, 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 amicable agreement.
