The proposed gas plant is part of a massive gas buildout likely to lead to higher power bills for Memphis residents and worsen the already-sky-high energy burdens facing local communities. A new gas plant would also worsen the impacts of climate change while pumping dangerous air pollution into a predominantly Black community.
Federal utilities like TVA should be fighting environmental injustices – not creating them.
MCAP (formerly Memphis Community Against the Pipeline) was successful in defeating the proposed Byhalia Pipeline in 2021 and they can stop this dangerous gas plant proposal too. They are collecting signatures on a petition to submit this week calling on President Biden to protect South Memphians by putting an end to these reckless gas plans and directing the TVA board to invest in safer clean energy solutions instead.
