(1/8) TVA wants to swap two of its retiring coal power plants for methane gas, a plan that is bad for our ecology, economy, climate, health and environmental justice. We also have better options! Here’s the first reason why TVA should #PassOnGas (Thread)
(2/8) #Biodiversity is already at risk in much of Tennessee
(3/8) Right now, the Tennessee Valley Authority is posing another threat to Tennessee's local ecology:
(4/8) Streams, wetlands and forests are at risk.
(5/8) Gas pipelines can have many damaging impacts on habitat and wildlife.
(6/8) TVA’s bat analysis doesn’t account for new additions to the Endangered Species list. The utility’s gas projects would destroy hundreds of acres of potential bat habitat.
(7/8) Rare plants and other threatened species could also be impacted if TVA goes forward with its methane gas plans.
(8/8) Protect local habitat! Tell TVA: No new gas plants in Tennessee! Stay tuned for more reasons why TVA should #PassOnGas.
