This never would have happened if it weren’t for all those pesky environmental regulations.
The Environmental Protection Agency has released data showing levels of arsenic more than 100 times safe levels in the water after a coal ash spill that flooded an East Tennessee neighborhood.
Something tells me arsenic will be the least of the good folks of Eastern Tennessee’s worries over the next several decades.
there’s a nice kind of symmetry emerging between Bush’s first and last year in office. You’ve got chaos in Palestine and arsenic in the drinking water.
Heckuva job, Georgie.
Don’t forget corporate malfeasance rewarded in high places: Enron/Worldcom in 2001 (response: toothless “reform” and more partying), and the housing/banking meltdown in 2008 (response: multiple bailouts and more partying).
January 20 cannot come fast enough. Anyone know a good special prosecutor?
I was just thinking about the soil that is now contaminated and how that will affect crops and livestock. It’s interesting to realize that the EPA stops short of providing safe arsenic levels in the soil and instead focuses on water.
This article points out that some soils simply cannot be ‘cleaned’ and must instead be hauled away.
once again, you are using a “small” point to display the criminal activities of the bush and his fellow criminals. It proves without a doubt the need for a special prosecutor.
Or maybe, if that thought of convicting a former President of the USA. If it is to unpalatable to convict, then how about some form of a Truth and Reconcilliation Tribunal. At the very least, maybe we can put this 8 year insanity to rest.
And just who do you think will appoint a special prosecutor ? ?
