    "toxic fly ash (a byproduct of fossil fuel production)"


    Nope, the fly ash is a product of burning the coal (electricity production) not of mining the coal (fossil fuel production).

    @Klebert L. Hall: They just want to tar all "fossil fuels" with the same brush. Fossil fuels are EVIL you know.

    Very SCARY. My best wishes to all of you in the area as this is could be a major problem. Is the Government doing anything?


    Thought not.

    I don't think that's blackened landscape, it looks like the shadow from some sort of plume coming out of the plant. Maybe steam as a normal production byproduct?

    @XenaElectra: Oh maybe you're right - they produce a lot of smoke at the plant, which is actually where the fly ash comes from.
