It's funny how statistics are just numbers, there is no emotional attachment. That is, unless a good friend becomes one. A nice gentleman that lives about 100 yards from the ash landfill @ Cane Run had a stroke 2 weeks ago. Nitrogen oxide (combustible particulates) I'm sure contributed to his medical issue. He just came home today and is happy to have gotten to the hospital in time, got the clot busting shot and rehabilitated quickly. But isn't it sad that because he lives near a power plant it is acceptable to our government that he has to breath dirtier air than the rest of Jefferson County. The government (ran by the corporations - the 1%), the politicians bought and paid for by the lobbyists deep pockets, have determined that coal ash needs to be protected from the people, not the other way around. We, the 99% need to step up now, before it's too late.
