We're on the run from wind turbines and looking at TN, do you have or are there any wind farms there?

Middle TN relies on TVA for power generation. TVA does have a "green energy" program where one can decide to buy $4 of "green energy" per unit.

AFAIK, the only wind site is near Oak Ridge TN, closer to Knoxville.

TVA is mostly a coal/gas/nuclear generator with a lot of river dams. The "green energy" is mostly solar.

I don't see any of the "wind farm" turbines you see in other areas.

There aren't any in the Nashville area. The state legislature passed a yearlong moratorium on wind farms last summer, but I know that many see huge potential for wind farms in this state.

There was a large proposal near Crab Orchard that was suspended because of the moratorium, which was brought on by resident protests.

Are you seeking out burning coal?
