Didn't a big coal fly ash accident just occur in TN? I imagine it will be pretty hard to sell this clean board in the south or anywhere for that matter.

I hope that they remove it, but as it stands now, most coal ash is more radioactive than spend nuclear fuel. I suspect that they do nothing and now it is in our homes. Not for me thanks.
