In this post, Llewellyn King, Executive Producer at White House Media points out that a legal issue involving Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is not just a business matter, but also an environmental one. The matter involves TVA canceling a sale of two units of its Bellefonte nuclear plant to Nuclear Development LLC. TVA’s stated reason for canceling the sale was an administrative one. Given that clean energy is a national priority, Llewellyn wonders, why couldn’t the two parties have worked something out, allowing the electricity output from the plant to be used for its intended purpose?

Utility customers in California with rooftop solar systems have been enjoying comfortable incentives for years. But some argue those incentives impose a financial burden on non-solar and lower-income customers, which is why utilities are now aiming to decrease incentives, implement new solar fees, and lower the value of surplus energy produced by rooftop solar. Here, Christopher Neely, a journalist at an independent local news organization, explains that such changes could mean a migration of customers away from the local community energy agency and back to Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).
