Political Factoid

The TVA will be required to
install new and upgraded,
pollution controls, at an
estimated one-time investment
of $3 billion to $5 billion.*
 
The improved controls
"will prevent approximately
  • 1,200 to 3,000 premature deaths,
  • 2,000 heart attacks and
  • 21,000 cases of asthma attacks
... each year, resulting in
$27 billion* in annual health
benefits."
  
 
*  Collectively, that is a 5 to 7 times
return on investment (ROI).
