Thank you for putting together that video montage about the TVA disaster up here.

I just emailed your link to my family.

Merry Christmas to you and let's work to reduce pollution in our time!

Those videos and the comments left on the links for that Tenn. newspaper tell you the politicians and bosses at TVA have ignored citizen's worries for too long, all in the name of profit.

If the EPA makes that area a Superfund site, maybe years from now Tennessee can buy the area up, force the TVA to use different environmental friendly ways to dispose of their ash, and turn the grounds into a nature preserve.

This happened to an area along the Hudson River.

Good luck down there.
