A nation covered in coal ash ...
The 600 coal burning and 86 waste-to-energy electric power plants across the USA create 150 million tons of coal ash and Incinerator Bottom Ash annually. The 150 million tons of toxic ash residue, created in the process of power generation continuously pollutes our nations aquifers. Coal ash and Incinerator Bottom Ash contain environmental toxins including heavy metals, arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead and mercury. Dumping the ash into our landfills or stockpiling and impounding the ash leads to toxic leakage into our nations water supply.
