TVA Coal Ash Disaster Dec 22 2008

What I don't understand is how they can get away with this crap. The tennessee river runs through my city and yet hardly anyone here is even aware of what happened. This is especially disturbing when considering the enormity of the disaster. How can any government that allows this to happen be considered "for the people?"

@f0nn1x thats a really good point lol idk why but i like ur comment bc ur not bitchen like most ppl..u made a great point :P

I can't wait until the greedy consume all resources, and begin to devour themselves and their fellow kind.

Wow. There really are Super Villains in the world.

Be careful what is taught to you in college. A lot of them have an agenda and stretch the truth or completely make things up.

hehehe i live like literally 1 minute from the steam plant! everything smelled like dead fish for WEEKS... you can still smell it... plehh

wind, solar and hydro are completely inadequate to meet even 15% of current energy needs. Anyone who claims otherwise is a LIAR. Nuclear power is the only solution.

Are you sure about this statement?

What research did you do to come to this conclusion?

Has there been any downside to Nuclear power in the past and currently?

What have we done with the waste?

Did you know we have dumped some waste straight into our Ocean?

Have you researched the Nuclear accidents around the world?

Wind and Solar could have meet a lot more of our needs if the big energy companies didn't slow down it's use many years ago.

@WholeTruth the problem is not hot much energy we can produce, but how we use it. Everyone is so confortable using their 52 inch plasmas 4 aircons, water heaters 3 cars, 40 bulbs per house i mean, come on. We need to stop wasting so much energy an perhaps, yes wind solar and hydro can be a solution for the planets energy needs.

How much energy does the fat lying Gore use at his house, in his limos, on his 100ft house boat? Why did he buy a 4 million dollar condo on the shore in SF, when he claims the seas are going to rise 6 feet?
