Thread: ash spill headed to Buggs

With any luck maybe we can turn back to those wonderful days, before EPA, and set the rivers on fire which happened.Cuyahoga river around Cleveland circa 1969.

Finally, a little bit of attention for the 3rd largest ash spill in US History.

"The pressure on Duke Energy over its coal ash practices has intensified as federal authorities revealed a criminal investigation of a “suspected felony” surrounding a Feb. 2 ash spill on North Carolina’s Dan River.
Duke and the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources confirmed Thursday that they were subpoenaed to produce records before a federal grand jury that will meet in Raleigh next month."

Sure hate to think that anyone would be bad enough to do it on perpose,oh well we may see

Allow me to provide the proper Faux News spin. The horrible US Dept. of Justice is caring out a vendetta against the innocents at Duke Power, which the impartial NC environmental agency has properly investigated. This is class warfare everyone knows that rich corporations should be allowed to do as they please and those poor folks downstream are probably socialists and should be thankful that Duke Power is adding to the chemical diversity of the river. Why do they hate America. You've been Hannitized.

And you can ask DonG what he thinks about whether or not the ash spill at Watts Bar had any effect on the fishing, following the spill.

cp, it sure did put a damper on a great crappie fishery. Have you talked with the locals lately? I surely miss the good times we hat at "The Bar"

I think they should put someone in jail. any fine will be paid by we, the customers. If one CEO had to spend a few yrs in jail, the rest would prolly fall in line,JMHO

I'm sure our Governor, having such a close relationship with DE, will do everything in his power to assure the problem is dealt with in the most efficient way possible.
