Sadly, politics seem to be an integral part of this problem. If the spill does damage to the river or the lakes below it is a shame,fish and fishermen both suffer.The coal ash did not fall from the sky, at least one entity is responsible (Duke) and some state department as tasked to provide oversight. So, pray tell how is discussion to move along if the elephant in the room is to be not to be mentioned. I can understand not wanting to see the usual hysterical partisan tirades, yet to ignore the obvious is in reality obscuring both the problem and possible remedies.
