Coal Ash Pollutes Cape Fear River – A Call For Relaxed Environmental Laws Gains Traction In North Carolina


The deluge of coal ash pond to kill indigenous fauna and flora will take five years to recover. Trump calls out North Carolina governor to lax coal mining and usage laws, to allow coal power companies to release coal ash into rivers and streams. Says if ash released into streams at low, controlled levels, will avoid large release of toxic substances. Blames lawmakers' lack of foresight/preparedness to plan for these tragedies. Questions their commitment to public and natural wildlife and habitats health. NC republicans and coal power proponents to introduce bill to North Carolina senate to repeal coal pollution laws, cites trump comments. With North Carolina unemployment rate at staggering 4.5%, nearly 10% over national average, a call to open coal mines gains traction to create tens, if not hundreds, of new jobs.
