NEW STUDY from @SynapseEnergy @GridLabEnergy @CenterForBioDiv shows @TVAnews can retire fossil fuels for 100% clean energy by 2035. Doing so will save customers money, reduce emissions, create jobs, & advance energy justice.

TVA was created to bring cheap, clean energy & jobs to the southeast. Now @TVAnews has a chance to do that again by leading the just transition to 100% clean, affordable renewable energy. #TVALeadtheWay

There's real urgency for TVA to make this shift. Fossil fuels burden families w/ high bills, extreme storms, and toxic pollution. Gas and coal plant failures during Winter Storm Elliot left millions without power. Yet, TVA is planning to build MORE gas.

The new @TVAnews board needs to tackle these issues head on by immediately charting a path to 100% clean energy by 2035. #PassOnGas #CleanUpTVA

Good to see that @TVAnews is taking steps in that direction with its own decarbonization study. Lucky for them, we've already done it! If it's serious about economy-wide emissions reductions, it starts with 100% clean by 2035.

Pres Biden should also step in - TVA's delayed transition puts his clean energy goals in peril. @POTUS: demand your board appointees lead the country off dirty power. And with that, showcase the IRA's true potential for spurring a clean energy future.➡️bit.ly/TVAPolicyRoadm…

Congress plays a role too! To ensure @TVAnews provides low-cost, clean, and resilient energy to its customers, it's time to pass legislation that:
✅Expands transmission access
✅Mandates transparency
✅Requires 100% renewable by 2035
