VICE NEWS - PETCOKE: TOXIC WASTE IN THE WINDY CITY

One of the by products of Tar sands oils from Canada creates a fine powder charcoal dust like substance. The crazy thing is this stuff is stored by rivers in open areas near neighborhoods. It's in the windy city but just sitting out in the open. If the Keystone pipeline is built this pollution will be created in greater volume.

Burning the Future: Coal in America

A few years ago I learned about Coal Slurry deposits. I also learned about coal slurry dams breaking and flooding homes and areas. In America it would seem many don't know about this or don't care. I know coal is a necessary evil but that doesn't mean it can't be extracted responsibly but then again that would cut into the industries profits.
Best thought that came from this documentary and I'm paraphrasing. "It's easy to be ignorant and deaf to what's wrong when their pay check rely's apon it." I would say complacency come from ones comfort as well. It would appear more than just liberal hippies want sustainable power in America.


I will attempt to place this up again when I find another source.
