Yep, Bull Run is being closed also, just a few years after TVA took lots of homes and properties near the plant via eminent domain, for future expansion of additional coal ash piles. Great planning, guys.

But not all the homes were taken; just the middle class single family dwellings. There is a large rundown trailer park in Claxton full of drug houses that is a blight on the community. Beside the trailer park was a large farm property that the owner was busy turning into a nice equestrian destination with a huge indoor riding arena. About a million dollar farm. I’ll let everyone guess which property TVA decided to take, and which one stayed.

BTW, the environment impact statement said that the huge piles of ash being planned wouldn’t be an eyesore or disrupt the scenery in the community. LOL

The Sierra Club tried hard to shut down the Gallatin

Coal Plant.My cousin in Oak Ridge told me about Bull

Run.You must live close by that place to call it a steam

plant.Thats what locals here call the Gallatin plant.
