Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 The Tennessee Coal Sludge Spill was not a natural disaster, this was a man-made disaster, directly tied to our reliance on fossil fuels. The disaster is 48 times larger than the Exxon Valdez oil spill. There is no such thing as a clean cigarette, or clean cancer, and there is no such thing as clean coal. Yet last year alone, the Coal industry spent over $45 million trying to convince the American people that the dirtiest fuel on the planet is in fact, clean. It's simply not true. In the face of this tragedy, the coal industry still wants to build more pollution-belching coal plants, and we cannot let that happen. Tell Congress to support a federal moratorium on new coal-fired power plants that emit global warming pollution! Send the letter below now. We'll automatically send it to the members of Congress that represent the physical address you give us, and their name will automatically appear at the top.
