Thanks for making my point.
The global warming cabal will find a PR excuse anytime it needs one.
I didn't lie when I said coal plants didn't have scrubbers...they didn't even have baghouses for a long time.
So you want to go back to the 19th century and poison the landscape around coal fired plants. I would think you would be satisfied with the damage they do in the 21st century;
"On Dec. 22, 2008, a massive dam failed at the Kingston coal-fired power plant in Harriman, Tenn., owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Some 1.1 billion gallons of coal ash sludge flooded across nearby fields and into the Clinch and Emory rivers.
The disaster, which covered more than
300 acres, damaged homes, wiped out thousands of fish and clogged the waterways with toxic sludge. It was larger than the Exxon Valdez spill.
The catastrophe drew national attention to a danger that until then had been largely unknown and out of sight. Coal ash, the waste from burning coal for electricity, has mostly been mixed with water and stored in huge, unlined impoundments held back by earthen dams, like the one at the Kingston facility. The ash contains toxic heavy metals including arsenic, lead, mercury, selenium and chromium.
Appalachian Voices was on the scene of the TVA spill within a day, teaming up with Southwings to chronicle the disaster
from the air. We also took to
kayaks and canoes on two separate occasions to conduct independent tests of the river water and fish for pollutants, and followed up with community members and organizations at the scene to
track the cleanup in the weeks and months that followed."
