TVA hearings - Guess what they do with some of the sludge??
"My connection sucks but sounds like Lamar Alexander just said we need a series of "mini Manhattan projects" to figure out how we can safely use coal. Throws out recapturing carbon -- Um, Senator, that's what a billion gallons of just flowed into the Emory River. The question is what do we do with it when we recapture it? It's filled with arsenic, mercury, and other poisons, and it's believed to be even more radioactive than nuclear waste.

Last night I talked with a TWRA biologist who told me they are actually selling this stuff for use with gypsum to make drywall. Drywall! Made out of radioactive toxic chemicals!! Doan want!!!!!!"

*sigh* The ash may be used on snowy roads if cities bought it to save money because salt was so expensive. Then when it dries, people can breath it in. YAY!
And now you can have it as part of your house or whatever else drywall is used for.
What will they think of next??
We are all going to mutate or glow in the dark or something from all the shit in the water and air.
