The coal dust settles

You should remember the coal ash disaster in Tennessee late last year. There are numerous hazardous sites full of similarly dangerous coal ash throughout the country - the EPA has classified 44 such sites as "high hazards - meaning they could cause death and significant property damage if a storm, a terrorist attack or a structural failure caused them to spill into surrounding neighborhoods." But the Army Corps of Engineers is worried that this information could get into the hands of terrorists, so we're not going to find out where they are.

Well, that makes me feel better.
