Tva Coal

The coal industry doesn't want any regulation on coal waste, because it would hurt their corporate profits.

It occurred to me that maybe more was going on at the site of the 1.1 billion gallon coal ash spill in Tennessee than what I could gather from the news. With an invitation from the community, I decided to make the trip to the disaster site.

There are 1300 hundred dumps across the country similar to the one in Tennessee. It's become painfully clear yet again that there's no such thing as clean coal, just Mean Coal.

When wildfires consume beautiful homes in California, it headlines the evening news. But when thousands of people go without water for weeks in Appalachia, it's not "newsworthy."
