We are here in Knoxville where TVA’s November board meeting starts in 14 minutes. We are done with silence from executives at our “public” utility. Residents of the Tennessee Valley have thousands of questions on fossil fuels, worker protections, coal ash. And no answers.

We need to leave the fossil fuels on the ground and kick #PollutersOut

Let’s make fossil fuels a thing of the past.

[Citizens’ Climate Lobby Middle Tennessee @ccl_tn]
