CalStar Products CEO Tom Pounds is laying the foundation for 'green' building materials one brick at a time. His company has developed a new type of building brick that uses neither clay or cement during manufacturing. Instead they've figured out a more energy efficient process by using fly ash, a material that's left over after burning coal in the nation's big power plants.

  • It seems like it incentivizes the coal industry to make more ash. Whats wrong with clay ? Go to the middle east. Tons of clay structures that have been there for centuries.

  • Using fly ash is not new!

  • How is the brick cured?
