The Tennessee Valley Authority’s new Regional Energy Resource Council is holding its first meeting Wednesday.

The TVA board created the council earlier this year to advise staff on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Council members represent environmental, industrial, business, consumer, educational and community interests. The meeting is being held at the agency’s training center in Hollywood, Ala., to discuss TVA’s long-term energy goals.

Whitney grew up listening to Car Talk to and from her family’s beach vacation each year, but it wasn’t until a friend introduced her to This American Life that radio really grabbed her attention. She is a recent graduate from Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where she studied journalism. When she’s not at WKMS, you can find her working on her backyard compost pile and garden, getting lost on her bicycle or crocheting one massive blanket.
