10,000 Gallons of Slurry Spills Out at Coal Plant in Alabama
------------------------------------------------------------



In environmental news, there has been another accident at a coal plant
run by the Tennessee Valley Authority. 10,000 gallons of slurry have
spilled from a retention pond at the Widows Creek Fossil Plant in
Alabama. Some of the waste escaped into the Tennessee River. The spill
comes less than a month after more than a billion gallons of toxic coal
ash leaked out from a retention pond at a TVA plant in Tennessee.
