  • Sadly because of this 2 power plants have been found to be out of date, and TVA isn't going to change it, besides shut these 2 plants down, thus those grids are being moved to 3 other power plants, and dramatically increasing the electric bill for millions of TVA customers, My aunt works for TVA in Cumberland, one of the plants taking over one of the grids

  • It was actually 1.2 Billion gallons. I was told this from the TVA represenatative at the Tennessee Department of Health.

  • yup the ones behind the mess will blame everyone else.the peeons will take the fall the greedy bastards. I agree we need better energy ideas and build it ween off that nasty stuff

  • Did'nt this sort of thing happen a few years back in Kentucky?

  • Its easyier then everyone thinks to change energy after all we are a nation of consumers an are more than happy to buy the newest gadget. Well shit lets buy a really new an cool peice of technology Solar, wind, and hydrogen kind. Oh! you say it could save the planet ahaa sweeet! I'm sold, and really thats going to be a driving force to bring the U.S out of the recession the new replaces the old just as it should be! Whos with me?

  • That water is going to permiate regardless of their "rock wall" TVA is going to pay off everyone surrounding this incident. Poetic justice everyone pays for it whos going to change it? I'm getting off the grid ASAP, an I'd urge everyone to do the same an send companies like TVA right into the bottom of their own fucking toxic ash ponds! There are other alternatives out there. The technology is right in front of us all that need be done is integrade.
