What If?

  • Thursday, January 23, 2025

What if TVA had completed Bellefonte, Phipps Bend, Yellow Creek and Hartsville Nuclear plants back in the 70s and 80s?

I doubt we would be having schools close to meet the demand of electricity.

As we now have a president with a vision of leading the world in technology, AI and industry, Tennessee and the TVA would have been key players as all three of President Trump’s ambitions demand energy.

It’s my hope that TVA, with their experience and expertise, is preparing to address this and hopefully with a better execution of construction and a standardization of plants to make construction, components and operations more efficient.

We’ve got all the parts here in Tennessee and with the DOE at Oak Ridge paired up with TVA what would be the possibilities?
