Lawsuit filed against federal utility's gas plant replacement plan.

Conservation groups have filed a lawsuit against the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to stop the replacement of a coal-burning power plant with a natural gas facility. The lawsuit claims that TVA did not properly consider cleaner energy options or correctly factor in climate and economic impacts. The TVA moved forward with the plan despite concerns raised by the US Environmental Protection Agency that the utility's analysis of alternatives was faulty and that the project is at odds with President Joe Biden's clean energy goals.
