According to Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, billions of gallons of highly toxic coal slurry broke through a dike at the TVA's Kingston County coal-fired plant in Harriman, TN. It has flowed into tributaries of the Tennessee River that supply water to Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky. The ash slide "covered as many as 400 acres as deep as 6 feet," said the Nashville Tennessean.
Unfortunately news about this latest environmental travesty is seeping out a lot slower than the coal ash in Tennessee.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
