At Plant in Coal Ash Spill, Toxic Deposits by the Ton

Headline from the NY Times, 12/20/08

In a single year, a coal-fired electric plant deposited more than 2.2 million pounds of toxic materials in a holding pond that failed last week, flooding 300 acres in East Tennessee, according to a 2007 inventory filed with the Environmental Protection Agency.

My only comment: proof of the fallacy of clean coal.
