North Carolina gets go-ahead in its TVA pollution suit

The state of North Carolina can proceed with a lawsuit against the Tennessee Valley Authority that demands the utility clean up its power plants and reduce air pollution, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.

If the EPA won't make TVA clean up its coal plants, maybe North Carolina can. But North Carolina's Duke Energy and the rest of the Southern state utilities that burn coal all need to clean up their act.
