Episode Details

Tennessees Cumberland Fossil Plant, the states largest coal ash dump, poses significant health risks due to leaking toxic waste into groundwater. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is considering a closure plan, and public input is crucial before May 15th. Critics argue that TVA downplays the dangers, while TVA insists their factsheets are based on solid science. The EPA is easing rules on similar sites nationwide, despite widespread contamination. With eight coal ash spots in Tennessee, public input could shape cleaner outcomes across the region.
