Local Coal Ash Retention Ponds - WHAS11

WHAS11 aired a report last night that revealed just how large and hazardous "coal ash ponds" can be for those living near an LG&E power plant in Southwest Louisville. If you or someone you know live near one of the power plants, you are urged to watch this report.

See it by clicking HERE.

A similar "high-risk" situation existed at a power plant in Knoxville, Tennessee. A wall of a retention pond for coal ash failed, and sent a high speed tidal wave of poison sludge that wrecked the neighborhoods surrounding the facility. Read that story HERE.
