TVA execs made $90 million since 2020 while pushing fossil fuels. Their bonuses were paid by some of the highest bills in some of the poorest parts of the country. #notpublicpower https://t.co/cMKA2gluzR

When it comes to the Jeff Lyash and his executive suite cronies they are living proof of Upton Sinclair’s axiom, “It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It.” TVA values are #NotPublicPower values.

TVA is justifying high salaries for its executives by pointing out the high salaries of other utility companies. Let's be clear, it is "grotesque" that any utility executives are paid this excessively. Read more in the @TimesFreePress. #NotPublicPower https://t.co/5Q26ebPLrz

Ahead of tomorrow's Board meeting, @cleanenergyorg, @SowingJ, @CenterForBioDiv, @AppVoices, @energyalabama, & @sunrisemvmttn — join together to call on TVA to return the public comment sessions to the Board meetings. Anything less is #NotPublicPower. 4/4 https://t.co/kcVzcV1zbh

Nearly four years ago, TVA, our nation’s largest public power provider, eliminated in-person public comment sessions at its quarterly Board of Director meetings, a practice that had been in place for more than 35 years. #NotPublicPower 🧵 1/4 https://t.co/kcVzcV1zbh

With climate out of budget reconciliation this year, Biden needs to do everything he can on climate. That includes pushing TVA, the largest public utility, to decarbonize instead of building a bunch of new gas plants. (7/7) #ConfirmClimateChamps #CleanUpTVA #NotPublicPower

TVA's irreverence to transparency harms communities and their ability to fight against environmental injustices. Postponing plans to announce moving coal ash through Memphis neighborhoods once again highlights TVA's values are #NotPublicPower values. https://t.co/9UU4nUuKJk

Basic truth, @TVAnews is the most unregulated electricity utility in the United States. A rogue self regulated Federal monopoly running roughshod over the good people of the Tennesee Valley, full stop. TVA values are #NotPublicPower values. 🇺🇸

For too long TVA has demonstrated its values are #NotPublicPower values. It's time for the federal entity to abandon its plans to build new fossil gas plants and better serve its customers by investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency. https://t.co/VxdZ42wJtk

In a move toward more transparency from the "public" utility, TVA, bi-partisan legislation introduced last week would require more information about the pay levels of rate-payer funded TVA employees to be disclosed to the public. #NotPublicPower https://t.co/CHJbj00ph8

This is one of the greatest legacy ☠️ issues for @TVAnews decades of foot dragging TVA values are #NotPublicPower values…Tennessee was ‘ground zero’ for coal ash pollution. Now, EPA is promising cleanups. https://t.co/onwLkX6q1g

Finally. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce is stepping in to fulfill a duty that TVA's Board has increasingly disregarded and is demonstrating oversight of the nation's largest public power provider, @TVAnews. #NotPublicPower 1/ https://t.co/REg8wDx1TR

Charging ratepayers with some of the highest energy burdens in the US for a 35% increase in TVA CEO's compensation to $9.9M while slashing energy efficiency and solar programs? That's #NotPublicPower. Via @RichardRansomTV https://t.co/lgkmTZNrIG

1) The Board gave TVA's CEO a $2M raise to nearly $12 Million. $12 MILLION! All paid by ratepayers. Contrast that to the $4.6 mill/year TVA spends on low-income weatherization. TVA spends nearly 3x on its CEO than reducing energy burdens. #NotPublicPower https://t.co/mCslgXNV2E

Another clear example of why @TVAnews values are #NotPublicPower values. Monopoly heavy handed tactics used against local power companies attempts to better serve the public with lower bills and more flexibility to develop #CleanEnergy @POTUS @SecGranholm @Gina_McCarthy

Power battle in Tennessee: Three local power companies consider breaking away from TVA and want FERC on Thursday to give them open transmission access to buy from outside power producers. They accuse TVA of limiting needed power upgrades. https://t.co/Nxkg0yeiRM

TVA’s CEO and Board chair trying to intimidate small town mayors to get them to withdraw from a complaint against TVA at FERC. If it’s true, it’s about as #NotPublicPower as it gets.
