Comments on: TVA Spill Update: Worried Residents and More Coal Spills http://earthfirst.com/tva-spill-update-worried-residents-and-more-coal-spills/ A Sharp Eye -- With a Green Edge Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:33:14 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Tara http://earthfirst.com/tva-spill-update-worried-residents-and-more-coal-spills/comment-page-1/#comment-5861 Tara Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:50:29 +0000 http://earthfirst.com/?p=3297#comment-5861 Thanks for posting this. It's good to know TVA is being "ordered" to clean up some of their plants, but I sure hope they are going to be doing something for the families whose homes and lives have been turned upside down due to the coal ash pond spills. (And I don't think that "spills" properly convey the damage done.) More coal fly ash should be recycled for use in construction, etc rather than being "stored" or dumped. In addition coal plants should be required to reduce the volume of unburned carbon in the coal fly ash, so it can be recycled more. http://biofriendly.com/blog/index.php/2009/01/14/coal-emissions-cant-you-recycle-coal-ash/ Thanks for posting this.
