President Barack Obama announced Thursday he planned to nominate to the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors a professor who shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The White House announced the President's plans to nominate Marilyn A. Brown for one of two vacant seats on the nine-member board. She shared the Nobel prize for her work with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Since 2006, Brown has been a professor of energy policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Before that, she worked at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, managing an energy efficiency research and development program. The nomination must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Follow the link below to read the full article as it appears in the Knoxville News Sentinel.
