When Dirty Energy Owns Government



Remember when DIRTY COAL pretended COAL IS CLEAN?

DIRTY COAL is cheap because it doesn't have to cleanup its environmental destruction.

[FYI - NC Governor Pat McCrory previously worked for DUKE ENERGY!]


In February, a DUKE ENERGY'S COAL ASH POND spewed About 82,000 tons of coal ash mixed with 27 million gallons of contaminated water.


When you support DEREGULATION candidates because of the phony propaganda they present, this is a disaster that COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED!


While MASSACHUSETTS pretends  Environmental Leadership, Beacon Hill has ignored this issue!  Beacon Hill can't even pass the EXPANDED BOTTLE BILL because of Pig Headed Leadership beholden to Lobbyists and Industry.


Unless and until voters inform themselves....this will continue.

82,000 Tons Of Coal Ash Spill From Plant Into North Carolina River





About 82,000 tons of coal ash mixed with 27 million gallons of contaminated water — enough to fill more than 40 Olympic swimming pools — has leaked from a North Carolina power plant and is threatening water supplies across state lines.


Duke Energy, the U.S.'s largest electricity provider, which runs the plant, said Wednesday that hundreds of people using heavy equipment were working day and night to solve the situation.
But the company's statement did not provided a timetable for when the leak will be fixed. And regulators are still trying to work out whether the ash, which can contain toxic chemicals — including lead, arsenic, mercury and radioactive uranium — is a hazard to people or wildlife, The Associated Press reported Thursday.
