RE: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust - Duke Energy's Coal-Fired Plants Continue to Harm Residents in North Carolina
Really nice write up, most of the time profits are more important than the average persons safety it seems. Something should really be done about those coal ash ponds. Thankfully coals utility as an energy source is waining as renewables become more and more economically viable. This doesn't fix the damage currently occurring though...
Exactly. Coal is no longer burned at the majority of dukes facilities, but until recently they have let them keep these ponds indefinitely without any groundwater monitoring or structural integrity requirements.
