In case you missed it on Dec- ember 21st a TVA levee wall burst in Oak Ridge, Ten- nessee. But it wasn’t water in the retention pond, but rather 1,000,000,000 gallons of coal ash sludge, a byproduct of coal fired power plant.

Initially TVA estimated the spill at about 350 million gallons, but had to up the spillage estimate to 1 billion gallons upon closer examination. The sludge spill roared downhill and reached depths of 6′ burying cars, porches and even downing power lines. (Source)

So what’s in a billion gallons of coal ash sludge? Well concentrated levels of mercury and arsenic, according to environmental experts. TVA experts claim there’s no danger to humans from the chemicals. This claim despite hundreds of fish turning up dead in nearby waters. (Source) Naturally many local residents aren’t too comforted by the TVA’s assurances.

The spill is working it’s way into the Tennessee River, the source of drinking water for 1 million Tennesseans. TVA has built a rock wall to try to stop the sludge from oozing in.

“You have acute problems we are dealing with today, but we’ll have chronic problems for a long time. This whole area has been devastated environmentally.” - Stephen Smith of CleanEnergy.org (Source)

So the news of the day is, the Pope now a bigger dick to gays then Rick Warren. Rick Warren has removed the anti-gay language from his website. (Source) Meanwhile Pope Benedict XVI has upped his anti-gay rhetoric.

Warren’s been in the news a lot subsequent to being chosen to give the invocation at the Obama inauguration. Author of The Purpose Driven Life, Warren was attacked by the left for his anti-gay comments equating gays with pedophiles. But now he may be softening his position, taking the anti-gay language off his Saddleback mega-church’s website.

Now Benedict XVI is making headlines equating homosexuality with the destruction of the human race. (Source) The Pope argued that saving humanity from gays and transsexuals was just as important as saving the rainforest for animals. (Source)

Really your holiness? Gays are a bigger threat to the planet than the destruction of the rainforest?

What do you think readers?
