They also need a flat/open area? I did hear they are proposing a geothermal plant, but I'm even less informed on that than wind

East Tennessee has lots of hydro and Nuclear power, simply cuz our rivers allow it

I'm also not sure how far TVA reach stretches to the west where large solar is very plausible in Tennessee
