Is the TVA Inspector General a kook?
'U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr., R-Knoxville, said the Kingston accident was "a terrible thing" but that TVA has done "everything within reason that could be done" to clean up the spill site.' (link...)
(Needed the EPA to bring them to "reason".)
'He urged lawmakers to disregard criticism from groups who have "a vested monetary interest" in the situation, such as contractors and environmental groups that he said are using the disaster to raise contributions for their organizations.'
(Don't those impacted have a vested interest, as does TVA? Didn't United Mountain Defense deliver water and other services that TVA promised and failed to provide?)
'"You can never satisfy the extremists or the kooks in any situation," Duncan said. "There will be some people that we will never satisfy if we spent the entire federal budget on this problem. But we have to be reasonable, and we have to have a little balance and common sense in this situation."'
(Isn't the Question Federal oversight not spending?)
Dare I invite you to write Rep. Duncan and 'splain it to 'em?

I'm looking for photos that show the south end of the Swan Pond dike near the plant entrance flowing over Swan Pond road. The sooner after the spill the better. (Before TVA cleared away the evidence.) TVA had an iconic photo on their site showing the railroad crossing sign and the dike, grass and all ,covering Swan Pond Rd and the track, but I can no longer find that photo set. I don't blame them for wanting to focus on the recovery; I just didn't have the sense to archive it when it was available…)
If someone has a film photo, is there someone on this site who could scan it for them?
Thank you all very much.
