WHY PICK ON TVA?
TVA is essentially the supreme authority in this region when it comes to electrical energy generation, distribution, and consumption. The thing that makes TVA the target of such harsh criticism and generates so much community fear is the very thing that can be used to everyones advantage when it comes to energy management issues: Lack of public accountability. TVA has the ability to bypass layers upon layers of bureaucracy and simply enact incentives and enforce penalties. The power that TVA uses to tell farmers and homeowners, We want your land. Bye-bye. See-ya. Write when you find work. So long. Is the very power they could use to tell their utility and municipal clients You want more power? Tell ya what. Until you cut peak power demand by 25% over the next 5 years, dont come crying for more power. Furthermore, if you do not effectively cut peak power demand by 5% percent every year, and show that 25 percent of your customers have effectively met or exceeded energy codes or standards
