POPSThe Economics of Coal Speaking of COP15 evidencing Coal over Climate, “it was one year ago,” records WaPo staff writer David A. Fahrenthold*, “an ‘earth-and-ash dam holding back 1 billion gallons of waterlogged coal ash’ in Kingston, Tennessee, failed, but ‘most of the fly ash on the land is still there’ and the Environmental Protection Agency is yet to regulate coal-ash ponds.”

POPSLive East of Arizona? Say "Thanks EPA!" If you live east of Arizona and this proposed $3 billion coal fired plant were to be built - all of us to the east would have more coal produced pollution thrust in to your air, rain, and land, as well as lungs. The ash and mercury from Ohio coal fired plants more or less killed the once pristine lakes in New York. Be happy that you may not have this Arizona coal air to sift through you lungs and the lungs of our land.

POPSE.P.A. Lists ‘High Hazard’ Coal Ash Dumps I am actually surprised that Pennsylvania did not have more on the list. Coal burning and the ash are such terrible pollutants. If it weren't for all the lobbying firms out there, it might be feasible to shut down 85% of them. The pollution they cause is terrible. We need to find better methods and stop letting those with the $$$ tell us that coal is a clean and renewable energy, since it is not. It is like oil, something we are killing the planet earth extracting from the ground and poluuting our air and water.

POPSHow to Clean a Grill 1. Allow an extra five minutes of heating time the next time you grill to make sure any cleaning residue has burner off. Tips: 1. Keeping grill surfaces lightly coated with cooking oil or spray will make clean up much easier. 2. If the gas jets are clogged, consider replacing the burner or carefully clean them with a soft wire brush. 3. Regular cleaning makes the job much easier.

POPSCOAL ASH ALL OVER THE US- UNSAFE Most of the deposit sites are not adequately secured, and the myth of the clean coal goes on. The spewing of co2's and the storage of toxic waste creates massive environmental damages and risks.

POPSFILTHY COAL- SPILL WORSE THAN EXXON VALDEZ As the story is being ignored by the main media, the spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant turns out to be worse than the Exxon Valdez Spill, which is still not cleaned up. So don't hold your breath, or do hold your breath....

POPSEnvironmental activists detained by police at ash spill site These guys don’t deny they were on a section of road blocked off from the public. With the past history of the public being lied to about the severity of environmental disasters you cannot fault them for taking matters into their own hands. I’m looking forward to hearing the results of the water samples they took. TVA says the water sampling they took shows no toxicity, but how can toxic-laden coal ash not affect the drinking water? There were many fish found dead along the banks of the river but that could be explained by the force of the initial onslaught of water from the dam-break causing a ‘tidal-wave-like’ surge that washed the fish onto shore.
