2 thoughts on “Coal plant operators shirking responsibilities on ash cleanup, report contends

    1. Not surprised one bit. I work in the environmental field and understand water quality and quantity issues. Coal is dead. I predict more and more plants closing down in the next 10 years. Indiana will see more and more solar, wind, and sustainable plants going online and with that more high voltage lines. The trade off is destruction of trees but it’s with it due to less air, water, and soil contamination.
