Clean Coal

LITD spent a lot of pixelation talking about coal ash a couple of years ago and debunking the myth of clean coal, following the massive TVA power plant coal ash sludge spill. Scientific American reports that Earthjustice, the Sierra Club, the Environmental Integrity Project, and other environmental groups are trying to push the EPA to finally adopt proposed coal ash standards, following the release last week of new data showing that there were previously unknown instances of contaminated groundwater at at least 29 power plants, which contaminated nearby water supplies with arsenic, lead and other pollutants.
