Finally, some good news from the White House

Obama overturns Bush endangered species rule

What a relief to know that Bush & Co are gone. Too bad the "clean-up" of their debris will take a lot longer....

This pollution should be more than a "concern"

Concerns over ash pond pollution grows

"By the time that slide occurred, however, the problems that coal-ash residue can cause had already been part of life for nearly two years here at the site of the Gibson power plant, the nation's third-largest coal facility owned by Duke Energy.

Ash ponds — ponds filled with ash waste — at the Gibson plant tainted both a new wildlife sanctuary for endangered birds and the drinking water of the small community of East Mount Carmel in 2007. Two years later, the cleanup is still ongoing."

This is one of the more ridiculous things I've read lately - and there have been plenty to choose from.

This problem was "concerning" nearly two years ago - when the pollution was discovered. The fact that it is STILL a problem and according to this article NOT being resolved is disgusting - not "concerning."

These people have been living on bottled water all this time. I never read anything about this in the media. The EPA says it has identified 60 sites where pollution is at least suspected - if not a known problem.

What are they? The town crier?

EPA - DO SOMETHING!!!

Fine the crap out of Duke Energy. They bought the plant, they bought the problem but you, EPA are charged with making them clean up the mess - not hide it for two years until a larger disaster occurs.

Incredible...and so much for the "new wildlife sanctuary" - even humans can't live there....
