Tennessee Landowners File $165M Suit Over Massive Coal Ash Spill

Landowners in Tennessee have filed a $165 million lawsuit against the Tennessee Valley Authority in the wake of last week’s massive spill of over one billion gallons of toxic coal ash next to a coal-burning steam plant. The sludge spilled out of a coal plant retention pond, burying homes and roads. It is believed to be the largest coal ash disaster in US history. The amount of ash released would fill 450,000 standard dump trucks. [includes rush transcript]

  • never heard about this til i read about it feb 2012. pure evil. wow.

  • All coal companies should be confiscated by the state, liquidated, and replaced with sustainable energy. The workers who lose their jobs should have their wages paid for two years while they are given new skills. Coal is filthy, stupid and outdated.
