• Methane Gas Plant/Clean Air Act Citizen Suit: Southern Environmental Law Center and Other Organizations File Federal Action Addressing Tennessee Valley Authority Facility (jdsupra.com) — A new federal lawsuit targets TVA’s Kingston coal plant and a planned methane gas plant on the same 2,254‑acre site, arguing the utility is violating Clean Air Act permitting rules. Environmental groups say TVA promised to retire the coal units but now plans to run both plants, which they claim should trigger stricter “major” air‑quality review that could affect emissions around Kingston.
