What I can't figure out is why some of the lakes in the north part of the state --TVA lakes -- are only about 1 to 1.5 ft below their full pools. And keep in mind this is under the worst area (exceptional) of the current drought map.

If you recall we were starting to have water issues last summer around mid-July. I feel we need a smaller winter drawdown and perhaps earlier proactive decision making. For instance, why couldn't APCO petition FERC to move up the licensing, why do we have to wait until 2013 to make changes? Have they even approached FERC with that option?!

Maybe APCO has done this but I feel we are not getting the whole story.
