16. Yep. TVA is government owned

And it wasn't until just last year, after NC and several other states took TVA to court, did TVA finally agree to begin limiting their coal-fired emissions.

Doesn't that piss you off? I mean here is a government owned corporation doing things that violate the clean air act! And contributing to global warming!

We have known coal emissions were bad. We've known for years that CO2 was going to warm the climate. Yet only recently has our own government been FORCED to do the right thing.

So when someone says that the nukers and the coalers hate each other, they are dead wrong. Nukers and coalers are in the same boat and they have been lying to us all along about coal. And lying all along about nukes.

Is it a conspiracy, or what? I report, you decide.
