Coal ash. It's a byproduct of electric power plants. Residents near what is believed to be the largest dump site east of the Mississippi have lived with the environmental consequences for years. But now there's new hope that proposed federal regulation may change the industry's practices.

  • go look what happened in kingston tennesse that's been two years it's DISGUSTING

  • @lauriemann Glows? Geez-us!

    It amazes me that man is doing this to such beautiful land. All for profit and modern comforts.

  • With Tea Partiers in power, this is unlikely to get better. Republicans are BIG supporters of electric power from coal. Coal ash is becoming a huge national problem. Look what happened in Tennessee two or three years ago when the coal ash "pond" ruptured. Green power is the only solution, but funding for that is so tiny.

  • I live less than 20 miles from Little Blue Run. Between that and my house is ANOTHER large fly ash pile (Beech Hollow). The pond outside of Beech Hollow has odd shiny glow some days.
