Coal Ash Push Back

     Now that the EPA is proposing regulation of coal ash, the byproduct of coal-fired power plants, the industries that use the ash are lobbying against it. The concrete firm lobbyists, for example, are predicting increased costs for companies and increased utility rates!
     The regulations might also make it more difficult for the TVA to dump all of that coal ash from their huge spill in Tennessee (see photo above) in the landfill in Perry County Alabama.
