A federal judge has sided with North Carolina and ordered the Tennessee Valley Authority to install pollution controls at four coal-fired power plants.
The decision issued Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge Lacy Thornburg comes in a lawsuit filed in 2006 against the nation's largest public utility by North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper.
Cooper's lawsuit asked the court to order the TVA to cap sulfur dioxide and other pollutants that he said cross into the state from the utility's coal-burning plants in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
Thornburg ordered controls installed at the four plants closest to North Carolina, but denied the state's request to add them at seven others.
