Coal Ash

The TRUTH about Coal Ash?

"For most of the past decade, it appears that every EPA publication on the subject was ghostwritten by the American Coal Ash Association," stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, whose group examined thousands of coal industry and EPA communications. "In this partnership it is clear that industry is EPA's senior partner."

    That's from another blog, Truthout, and it hold interest for Alabamians, especially those who live in Perry County. Millions of tons of coal ash is being loaded into railcars (above) in Tennessee, and deposited in a commercial landfill near Uniontown, Alabama.
     The owners of the landfill filed for bankruptcy this week, saying they are not being paid what they are due from the landfill operators.
