A federal appeals court will hear arguments Dec. 10 over the future of a proposed pipeline supplying the planned Cumberland Gas Plant in Stewart County, the Tennessee Lookout reports. The 32-mile pipeline would cut through parts of Dickson, Houston and Stewart counties. Earlier this month in a 2-1 decision, a panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily froze two permits issued to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company to begin construction of the pipeline. TVA’s plans to open more natural gas plants have brought opposition from advocates seeking a redirection from fossil fuels and into solar and other renewable energy.
