Judge rules TVA violated Clean Air act

This just in from the KNS:

TVA violated federal clean-air laws more than 3,000 times in a two-year span at a northern Alabama coal-fired power plant, a federal judge ruled Monday.

UPDATE: Here's the full story with more details.

On a related note, I'm happy to see the KNS let relatively new and pretty smart reporter Andrew Eder off leash every now and then to get after TVA and DOE, who seem to have been off-limits in the past.

Apparently Eder isn't on the TVA PR fax distribution list (and probably won't be on the cocktail reception invitation list, either).

Hopefully other reporters will still have their precious "access" so they can keep us "informed". (Although I have to give Frank Munger credit for usually calling it like it is with regard to Oak Ridge.)

Five years later. It's about time. I suppose that's pretty quick in government time. Can't they stretch this out further by taking to another, higher court?
