So try to swallow
this. This is a photo of someone who grabbed a piece of driftwood in the Dan
River, where between 50,000 to 82,000 tons of coal ash were spilled from a
retired Duke Energy power plant two days ago.
This image is from 20
miles downstream of the spill and just a stone’s throw upstream of the
drinking water intake in Danville, Virginia. Keep in mind that the ash contains
arsenic, lead, mercury, and selenium, all of which are very toxic. Would you
drink the water in Danville?
The
image is from Appalachian Water Watch. The person whose hand is covered in gray
goop is Amy Adams, North Carolina Campaign Coordinator for Appalachian Voices.
