EPA: Duke Energy Finished Cleaning Coal Ash From Dan River

Brandon Baker | July 18, 2014 12:52 pm

“This arrogant announcement from Duke Energy is the ultimate insult to the people North Carolina and Virginia whose river has been devastated by the company’s toxic ash spill,” Waterkeeper Alliance attorney Pete Harrison—who conducted testing on the Dan River after the announcement—said in a statement.

“Worse yet, Duke doesn’t even acknowledge the fact that there’s still a public health advisory declaring that the river is not safe to fish and swim in. Duke’s celebratory announcement that it ‘completed’ the clean-up threatens to mislead the public into think the danger has passed.”

Coal ash, which contains arsenic, mercury and more, made its way into the river after a pipe collapsed at a waste dump, turning the river gray for about 70 miles.

Full article detailing the latest profit-over-planet EXTERNALIZED COST to we-the-people in the S H I T CANNED ETHICS FOR SHORT TERM PROFITS modus operandi the fossil fuel industry has espoused for about 150 YEARS!

Don't believe me? See what refinery WASTE product Rockefeller was dumping in Pennsylvania rivers in the late nineteenth century until he hit the "jackpot" by finding a market for that WASTE. It's called GASOLINE! Wake up, people! These fossil fuel f u c ks are a scourge on humanity!

The so-called PROFITABLE fossil fuel industry is based on WE-THE-PEOPLE eating the pollution costs! The INSTANT they have to pay for pollution, they STOP being "profitable". For those that can add and subtract, that means they NEVER REALLY HAVE BEEN "PROFITABLE"!  >:(
