Toxic coal ash ponds in 32 states

January 9, 2009

lisa,

check out freep's recent article (letter from famous physician's ) discussing

airborne pollution. I think EPA would have the 46 list. Coal ash becomes

airborn if it dries out. just a way out of the air laws. Hose it down. But in

my view nowhere near a plant is good for organic growing due to toxic sludge

seepage in groundwater.

So terrible.

But these days are fast coming to an end re. Obama has a different agenda.

money will no longer have all the last words.

This article states that stores of coal ash are found in 46 states. I

do know that power companies can easily use the power of eminent domain

to take property from owners if the testing of soil and water is

conducive for storing of the coal ash. This happened to farm owners

very close to my sister's farm when the power company was looking for a

land site to store coal ash. Many of the farms where she lives are

organic farms and some farms have been in the families for over 100

years. I think the power company eventually settled on a different

site, but there isn't much families who are unwilling to sell their

land to the power companies can do since power companies have enormous

amounts of money and power to do whatever they please - even if land

owners take on the power companies in court.

Does anyone have comments on this article?

I would like to know which chemicals are in this toxic ash and where

they are located around the U.S.

Thanks,
